Cake

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2⁄3 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
3⁄4 cup flour
Filling

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

DIRECTIONS

  • In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Beat in remaining cake ingredients.
    Grease a 10″x15″ jelly roll pan. Line pan with waxed paper, then grease and lightly flour the waxed paper.
  • Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes. *Cake cooks fast so watch carefully to avoid burning the edges.
  • While cake is baking, sprinkle powdered sugar heavily over the kitchen towel, using a sieve or sifter.
  • Turn hot cake onto the towel.
  • Remove waxed paper. Trim off burnt or crusty edges.
  • Sprinkle more powdered sugar over the hot cake and quickly roll up with towel inside. Let cake cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare filling by beating together all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  • Unroll cooled cake and spread with the filling mixture. Roll up cake with filling on the inside. Wrap in waxed paper and then foil.
  • Refrigerate or freeze. To serve, slice cake about 1/3 inch thick and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
