How To Make pumpkin roll

• 1

  Preheat oven to 375* Grease a 15x10 in pan: You can use a jelly roll pan but I use a cookie sheet that size. Then line with wax paper. Make sure your wax paper is hanging on both sides. This will help you later. Grease and flour the wax paper. Sprinkle a thin cotton kitchen towel with powdered sugar and set a side. Also take cream cheese out of frig to let sit out to room temperature, which you will need later.

  Spread evenly into your prepared pan. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Bake for 15 minutes or until cake springs back when you touch. Immediately when you pull out of oven take over to sprinkled towel you have prepared and turn the cake onto the towel carefully. Then peel the wax paper off gently making sure not to tear the cake.

  Now carefully roll up cake in the towel starting with the narrow end. Cool on wire rack completely. Once cake is cool all the way which I cool mine about 3-4 hours just to make sure. We will now make the filling.

  Put cream cheese that you have sitting out and 1 cup of powdered sugar, and butter and vanilla extract (make sure you use extract not just imitation vanilla) Beat this till nice and smooth and looks thick. Carefully unroll your cake, if it separates some don't worry cuz the filling will hold it together. Spread your icing over all and now reroll it the same way it was while it was cooling. The best part get your saran wrap which I hate dealing with and tightly roll your cake up. I roll it twice for added strength and to preserve the roll the way I want it to look like.

  Put in frig and let stand for at least 3 hours or more. I usually let mine sit over night before cutting. These will stay fresh in frig for 3-4 days if not eaten right away. You can also freeze them too. Just make sure you wrap them will to freeze for a period of time.
