    Libby’s Pumpkin Roll is easy, yet so impressive looking (and tasting)!

    Libby’s Pumpkin Roll has been on our table every Thanksgiving for many years now. 

    My 24 year-old daughter also makes it, and takes it to get-togethers.

    Someone brought it to a family Thanksgiving gathering. I thought it looked so pretty, and tasted even better!

    This Libby’s Pumpkin Roll had me impressed with the appearance, above anything. 

    I mean, you can make a pumpkin cake and top it with cream cheese frosting, but to roll it up like this makes it look so complicated.

    A jelly roll or roulade like this isn’t that hard to make.

    Don’t be intimidated, go ahead and try it, you’ll be glad you did.

    The first time I made this it turned out great and it wasn’t at all difficult to make.

    I used to use a regular cookie sheet, but I have since bought two jelly roll pans.

    It is much easier to make a jelly roll cake in a jelly roll pan. Makes sense, right?

    I use towels that are made of cotton and not terry cloth, I just think they work better.

    I also use them to wring out spinach and stuff of that nature.

    We keep them in a kitchen drawer and they are used for food only.

    Don’t worry if your cake cracks a little. Just roll it up and let it cool.

    When you unroll it and put the frosting on it just carefully roll it back up and refrigerate it for a few hours and it will look fine.

    As you can see in some of the photos, mine had a little crack, no big deal!

    Ingredients
      

    For the cake:

    • 3/4 cup flour
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/4 tsp allspice
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 3 eggs
    • 2/3 cup Libby's Pumpkin
    • 1/4 cup (or more) powdered sugar to use on towel

    For the filling:

    • 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)
    • 6 tbsp butter, softened
    • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare 10" X 15" X 1" jelly-roll pan; grease sides, line with waxed paper then sprinkle waxed paper and sides of pan with flour, shake off excess.
    • In a small bowl , mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt until combined.
    • In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs until thick. Add pumpkin, beat until combined. Stir in flour mixture. Pour into prepared pan; even batter with a spatula. Bake for 13-15 minutes. (Check after 10 or 11 minutes if using a dark pan.)
    • While the cake is in the oven dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar. (To do this I put the powdered sugar in a mesh strainer and tap it as I move it over the towel.)
    • Remove cake from oven and immediately turn out onto sugar dusted towel. Carefully peel off waxed paper. Starting at narrow end, roll up cake and towel together; let cool completely.
    • In a large bowl beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Unroll cake carefully, spread filling over cake. Re-roll and refrigerate for at least an hour (I refrigerate mine overnight).
