Pumpkin Roll Recipe
Today I’m doing something that I rarely ever do. I’m sharing a recipe. A pumpkin roll recipe. And I’m blaming Terrie from Decorate and More With Tip because she’s head of the DIY Challenge. The challenge this month? To share a fall recipe of course!
Here’s a great big shout out to Terrie for wrangling us every month and coming up with the best challenges.
If you are coming here from Nicky’s welcome, I’m so glad that you are here!
Pumpkin Roll Recipe
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup cooked pumpkin
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling:
1 – 8 ounce cream cheese
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Step 1:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease and flour a jelly roll pan. ( I like to use Pam baking spray)
Beat eggs for 5 minutes.
Step 2:
Gradually beat in sugar, cooked pumpkin and lemon juice.
Step 3:
Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin batter and mix until evenly combined.
Step 4:
Pour batter into greased jelly roll pan and spread evenly.
Bake in 375 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Step 5:
While roll is baking, lay out a cotton, lint free kitchen towel.
Liberally sprinkle powdered sugar over the towel and spread.
Step 6:
Once your roll is done cooking, immediately turn out onto the sugar covered towel.
Starting at a narrow end, roll towel and cake together.
Step 7:
Place towel rolled pumpkin roll in the freezer.
I leave mine in for a couple of hours to set the roll shape.
You can leave overnight if need be.
Step 8:
Make filing.
Mix your room temp cream cheese, butter or margarine, powdered sugar and vanilla until it’s smooth and creamy.
Step 9:
Remove your towel covered roll from the freezer.
Gently unroll the towel from the towel.
Spread your roll icing evenly over the pumpkin roll.
Gently roll the pumpkin roll back up.
Wrap in saran wrap, then wrap in aluminum foil and return to the freezer.
You can keep it frozen up to 6 months.
I like to keep it in the freezer until right before serving.
To serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar and slice.
You are ready to enjoy your Pumpkin Roll.
Once you have cut the pumpkin roll, store in the refrigerator.
This pumpkin roll recipe is one of my family’s favorites and I hope that you enjoy it too!

Who does not love a pumpkin roll! This looks so good and pretty too. Definitely saving this recipe.
Corine this recipe would be so easy for you. It even makes me look like I’m a baker!
Oh MY! That looks SOOOOOO good. I am not much of a baker but this doesn’t look too hard to make. Pinned for later.
Jodi I’m not much of a baker either. Unless you count cookies! However, 3 times a year I bake and this is one of them. So you know it has to be easy if I’m making it!
In all the years I’ve been baking I’ve never made a pumpkin roll! But you’ve made it look so easy and delicious, NOW I have to make one!
Yes, you do need to make one. It’s super easy and it’s one of my families favorites!
This looks great! I have baked pretty much everything but never a roll.
I am Pinning for later.
Thanks Cindy. It’s super easy and tastes really good. I got this recipe from a friend many years ago and we make several for the holidays every year.
Tammy this would be a great dessert to make ahead of time when things are a little less crazy. I am going to try making this for our family. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it is great to make ahead. I make mine mid-October and freeze. I make enough for our family get togethers, and a few extras to give away. I love it because it satisfies the sweet tooth without being overly sweet.
Beautiful pumpkin roll and great instructions! I haven’t had one of these in years, but now I need to make one. 🙂 Pinned!

Thanks Niky! I got this recipe about 30 years ago from a friend and we make them every year now. Super easy. Hope you enjoy it!
Tammy, this pumpkin recipe is wonderful. Reminds me of Buche Noel. Love the idea. Thanks for sharing. Pinning.
Thanks Carol. My family loves it and it’s special to me as a dear friend gave me the recipe 30 years ago! So making it every year reminds me of that friendship!
