Cake Roll and Jellyroll Recipes

Pumpkin Cake Roll

3 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup pumpkin
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chopped nuts

Beat the eggs at high speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes. Add sugar gradually. Stir in the pumpkin and lemon juice.

Mix dry ingredients together and fold into the pumpkin mixture. Spread on a 15 x 10-inch jellyroll pan, that has been greased, floured and sprinkled with chopped nuts. Bake until set. Turn out onto towel which has been covered with confectioners' sugar. Roll up and cool.

Filling:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Beat all ingredients until smooth. Unroll the cake, spread with filling, then re-roll without the towel. Wrap in foil and chill well.

To serve, slice and place a dollop of whipped cream on top, or sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
