Holiday Recipes – Pumpkin Roll With Sweet Cream Cheese Filling

Fun Foods for Families

Every year my best friend Sandra makes my husband her famous pumpkin roll. A sweet pumpkin cake, perfectly rolled up around cream cheese frosting. It’s the highlight of our trip to California every year. This year we’re staying at home in Oregon and having Christmas here so I decided that I also had to figure out how to make my own pumpkin roll. It’s not quite Christmas without it at this point, and it probably wouldn’t last if Sandra mailed me one. That said here’s my own version.

Rolling the cake: Honestly I was worried about the whole rolling up the cake thing so I decided to use a slightly thicker towel. A bath towel had a little extra thickness which I wanted because I really wanted the frosting to be perfect inside. I thought the thicker towel would keep the roll further apart. It turned out that it worked.I evenly spread my slightly sweetened powdered sugar filling inside and rolled it up and put it back in the fridge in plastic wrap. Make sure the cake it all the way at the top of the towel but allow the towel to slightly go over the cake as you roll.

Sandra’s tip: put some powdered sugar or flour on the towel before you put the cake on so the cake doesn’t stick to the towel.

I slightly modified Libby’s Pumpkin Roll Recipe to my liking. I also did the cream cheese inside to my liking.
