Ingrédients
  

For the Cake

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour.
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice blend
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1-¼ cups granulated sugar Coconut sugar can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree Homemade pumpkin puree is also acceptable.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese At room temperature.
  • ¼ cup salted butter Softened.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 3 cups powdered sugar For creaming.

For Dusting

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar For dusting the finished cake.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice blend, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Mix in the canned pumpkin puree and vanilla extract into the egg mixture.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared jelly roll pan.

Baking and Cooling

  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until it springs back when lightly pressed and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully roll it into a log with the parchment paper. Set aside to cool completely.

Filling and Assembly

  • Beat the cream cheese and softened butter together in a bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt; mix until creamy.
  • Once the cake has cooled completely, unroll it carefully. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
  • Gently roll the cake back up without the parchment paper. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Store the cake in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for 2-3 months. Reheat by thawing in the refrigerator or microwaving for 10 seconds if preferred warm.
