Description
A fall-inspired dessert that blends pumpkin pie flavors with creamy cheesecake, resulting in a spiced pumpkin cake rolled around a rich filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- Cooking spray
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- Confectioners sugar, for rolling
- 12 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt (for filling)
- 1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar, plus more for dusting
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15-inch by 10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease it generously with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Dust a large kitchen towel with confectioners sugar and flip the cake onto it after baking, then peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting from one short end, carefully roll the cake into a log shape using the towel for assistance.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in its rolled form.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, melted butter, and kosher salt until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the confectioners sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Once cooled, gently unroll the cake and spread the cream cheese filling over it.
- Roll the cake back up into a cylindrical shape, dusting with confectioners sugar as you go.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a lower sugar option, substitute granulated sugar with a natural sweetener. Use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter filling.
