This pumpkin cake roll is great to keep in the freezer for a quick dessert for my family or unexpected guests, to take to a gathering or to give as a yummy gift. The recipe is in such demand, I use a 29-ounce can of pumpkin to make four rolls at a time. —Erica Berchtold, Freeport, Illinois

This was the first pumpkin roll I tried- my husband loves them. It turned out perfect and was pretty easy.

This cake always gets rave reviews. The filling is a bit sweet for me; I like the tang of the cream cheese to be a little more prominent. Next time I will reduce the sugar by a half cup or so.

I made this twice now and no hint of cracking, and not dry at all, I did freeze them overnight. Plan to make about 20 more for friends and neighbors for Christmas.

Everytime I make this I get great raves. My grandsons loved it during the Thanksgiving Holidays.

I have made several pumpkin cake rolls, but this is the best recipe I have ever used. Much easier to work with than previous recipes I have had. I tried rolling it in a dampened towel to prevent the roll from sticking. It didn't stick, but it also didn't allow the powdered sugar to stay on either. I think I will try wax paper next time as suggested by other reviewers. Still, this turned out the best of any I have ever made!

My family loves the taste of this cake but I have tried making it several different ways, it always breaks! It tastes great but what am I doing wrong?!

Even though this is a fun and easy recipe to make, I had a hard time assembling it and the frosting did not turn out right. I am disappointed about that part but other than that am pleased. I will keep trying other similar recipes.

This is DELICIOUS. Best when served at room temperature. I will be making this at Christmas again...every year!!! Turns out just like the picture.
