What Is a Pumpkin Roll?

A pumpkin roll is a delightful, swirled dessert that brings together the flavors of spiced pumpkin cake and creamy filling, often made with cream cheese. Originating in the United States, this treat quickly became a popular choice, especially during the Thanksgiving season. With its beautiful spiral shape and harmonious taste, it’s not just a feast for the palate, but also for the eyes!

What Goes Well With Pumpkin Rolls?

Given the richness of the pumpkin roll’s flavors, you might wonder what could possibly pair well with it. If you’re thinking of drinks, a warm cup of chai tea or coffee works wonders. These beverages complement the pumpkin and spice flavors beautifully.

For those looking for a more indulgent experience, a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream on the side takes it to the next level. As for wines, a late-harvest Riesling or a spiced apple cider can be an excellent choice!

Pumpkin Roll Recipe

Looking to impress your family and friends? Let’s jump right into this easy-to-follow pumpkin roll recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup solid-packed pumpkin
• 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 cup optional chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (to sprinkle on wax paper)

Steps to Make the Perfect Pumpkin Roll:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F. Prepare a 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan by greasing it, lining it with wax paper, then greasing and flouring once more.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. Meanwhile, in a larger bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until they achieve a thick consistency.
3. Proceed to mix in the pumpkin, followed by the flour combination. Ensure it’s spread evenly in your prepared pan. If you’re using walnuts, sprinkle them on now.
4. Let it bake for around 13-15 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the cake springs back upon touch.
5. Upon taking it out, quickly turn the cake onto wax paper that’s been lightly covered with powdered sugar. Gently peel off the initial paper layer. Roll the cake and powdered sugar-coated wax paper, starting from the narrowest end, and allow it to cool.
6. In the meantime, whip together the cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and butter until you achieve a smooth texture.
7. Unroll your cooled pumpkin layer cautiously and spread your cream cheese blend over it. Reroll the pumpkin layer without the wax paper.
8. For a final touch, sprinkle some more powdered sugar on top. Refrigerate your pumpkin roll for a minimum of 1 hour before you slice and serve. Enjoy your delectable treat!
