Pumpkin keeps this cake moist and replaces the oil found in a typical layer cake; so you're getting vitamins, not fat. Serve this one up and your guests will rave…and no one has to know just how easy it was! Heidi Reinhard - Montpelier, Indiana

25 10 35

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
  • 6 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan with waxed paper. Coat the paper with cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs for 3 minutes. Gradually add sugar; beat for 2 minutes or until mixture becomes thick and lemon-colored. Beat in pumpkin and extract.

  • Invert onto a kitchen towel dusted with 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar. Gently peel off waxed paper. Roll up cake in the towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For filling, in a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and remaining confectioners' sugar until fluffy.
  • Unroll cake; spread filling evenly over cake to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up again. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Yield: 12 servings.

Tried this recipe for the first time for a work potluck -- it was a hit! I got compliments for this dessert days after the potluck was over. To get the recipe to last longer to allow for more nibblers, I cut the 15x10" in half width-wize and applied the entire cream cheese filling to one side and completed the sandwich by laying the other half of the cake on top. Then cut it up into smaller rectangles. This makes up for me being jelly-roll method impaired.

Was a little nervous making this, but the recipe was easy to follow and a cinch to make. I followed recipe (adding a pinch of allspice and a pinch of cloves for a lil extra kick) Also dusted outside or cake with extra powdered sugar. Wow factor was definately there. Delicious flavor! This will be a permanent cake in my recipe box. Thanks <><

I just made this deliciouse cake roll today and brought it to a church potluck. My son had a piece and said it was pretty good, I guess it was (I didn't actually get to taste, becuase it was gone by the time I went through the line!) I will have to make it again soon for dessert at home, so that I can have a piece too. One thing I did a little differently is I used a piece of parchment paper (and no oil or grease) on my baking sheet. It worked just fine when I went to invert and roll onto a dusted towel. I didn't use my mixer to make the frosting, so I had little lumps of powered sugar in there, but I don't think people minded. The frosting color too, was different - I think becuase of the neufchutel cheese. Overall, it was an easy cake to make and pretty tasty too- I think!

I am not big on the taste of pumpkin, but I love this cake. We ate one and I made another right away. It is great frozen.

If directions are carefully read throug, the 1 TBS of confectioners sugar goes on the towel. The additional 1 cup goes in the filling,
