Fall Dessert: Pumpkin Roll

Happy Fall to all of our fellow readers! September 23, 2015 was the official 'first day of Fall' so you may starting to feel the chilly weather once again (depending on where you live.) But... Halloween is only a bit more than a month away which means a huge makeover for our blog is on its way and so is a giveaway! So, today, I decided to bring to you my first ever recipe post on All Things Woozworld; An Autumn inspired dessert; Pumpkin Rolls! Let's jump right in!

Name - Pumpkin Rolls

Vegetarian? Yes

Vegan? No

Contains: Eggs, Nuts & Dairy

Time required - 1:05

Yield - 12 to 16 servings

 

Ingredients:

3 large eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

2/3 cup canned pure pumpkin

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 cups toasted walnuts

1 package cream cheese

1 tbsp. unsalted butter

3/4 cup confectioners sugar

3/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract

 

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 15 1/2- by 10 1/2- by 1-inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides; coat the parchment with cooking spray.

 

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, pumpkin, flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups walnuts and bake until the cake is puffed and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes.

 

3. Let the cake stand for 5 minutes, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup walnuts over the top. Place a clean kitchen towel directly on top, then a baking sheet on top of that. Invert the cake, then remove the pan and parchment. Starting from a long side, gently roll up the cake with the towel. Place seam-side down on a wire rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

 

4. When ready to assemble, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until combined. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Carefully unroll the cake, leaving it on the towel (there may be some cracking). Spread with the cream cheese filling, reroll into a log, and transfer to a serving platter.
