Pumpkin Roll!


This was the dessert we had at book club last week. It was soooo good. Give it a try!

Pumpkin Roll

3 eggs

1 cup sugar (could probably be cut down)

1 tsp. lemon juice

2/3 cup pumpkin

¾ cup flour

1 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. ginger

½ tsp. nutmeg

½ tsp. salt

Beat eggs, then add sugar, lemon juice and pumpkin; mix. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Line a jelly roll pan (large cookie sheet) with greased waxed paper, and grease the sides of the pan. Pour batter into pan and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle a towel with powdered sugar and lay hot cake on towel, remove wax paper and roll. Cool in rolled position.

Filling:

1 ½ cups powdered sugar

6 oz. cream cheese

2 Tbsp. margarine (soft)

½ tsp. vanilla

Mix sugar and cream cheese, then add margarine and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Unroll cooled cake and spread frosting. Roll up again. Wrap in foil and freeze. Remove from freezer 30 minutes prior to serving and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into 1 inch slices.
