Ingredients
  

Spiced Pumpkin Sponge Cake
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
Velvety Cream Cheese Filling
  • 8 oz brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (plus extra for rolling towel)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Method
 

Bake & Pre-Roll the Sponge
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll baking sheet generously and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides. Grease the top of parchment.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat eggs and granulated sugar on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes until thick, pale yellow, and ribbony. Beat in pumpkin puree until combined.
  4. Gently fold in dry ingredients with a rubber spatula just until combined. Spread batter evenly across the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until top springs back when lightly touched with a fingertip.
  6. Immediately turn hot cake out onto a clean linen tea towel dusted generously with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment paper carefully. Starting at the short end, gently roll up the warm cake together with the towel. Cool completely on a wire rack for 1.5 hours.
Fill, Chill & Slice
  1. Make the filling: Beat cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until completely smooth, light, and fluffy.
  2. Gently unroll the completely cooled pumpkin cake. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly across the cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the edges.
  3. Re-roll the cake without the towel. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the spiral.
  4. Dust with powdered sugar, trim ends for a clean presentation, and slice with a serrated knife into neat rounds.
