This pumpkin roll combines the rich flavors of pumpkin and warm spices with a light and airy cake, all rolled up around a luscious cream cheese filling.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with nonstick cooking spray that contains flour. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and spray again. Sprinkle a thin kitchen towel with 1/3 cup powdered sugar
In a medium sized bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the eggs and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until thick. Add the pumpkin and mix for another 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of a bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the flour mixture and mix to combine, don’t overmix. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when touched.
After removing from the oven immediately loosen and turn the cake out onto the powdered sugar dusted towel. Peel off the parchment paper and roll up the cake and the towel together starting with the narrow end. Let cool completely.
In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese, 1 ½ cup of powdered sugar, vanilla and butter until smooth.
Unroll the cake and spread the cream cheese mixture over the cake. Reroll the cake, without the towel. Wrap the pumpkin roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove from the fridge, slice and serve.
