Before making roll cakes, I used to hesitate. I'd read the recipe over and over again, pull out every single ingredient to make sure I had it in front of me, and then sit directly in front of the oven waiting for the cake to cook so I could take it out and roll it up as quickly as possible before it cooled down. The entire time I'd be anxiously drumming my fingers, expecting the cake not to turn out.

And then there was one day where I had a ton of things going on, but I had a roll cake recipe I wanted to try. I whipped up the cake batter, popped it in the oven and went back to another recipe I was making. I took it out of the oven and sat it on the counter while I found the towel to roll it up in and quickly rolled it up because the timer was going off for another recipe. There was no anxiety, no stress and the recipe turned out great. I've never had an issue with a roll cake again.

The moral of the story here is that if you think a recipe is going to be difficult and stressful, pretend that it's not. My best roll cakes are the ones I made when going about the rest of my day and not waiting on the cake. If I can conquer a roll cake, so can you!

Classic Pumpkin Roll

The classic spongy pumpkin roll cake with a sweetened cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
3 Eggland's Best large eggs
1 cup sugar
⅔ cup canned pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Frosting:

8 oz. cream cheese softened
1 cup powdered sugar sifted
2 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350. Line a 15x10 jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving about an inch of overhang on the ends so you can easily remove the cake. Spray the parchment with non-stick baking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick. Then whisk in the pumpkin puree and vanilla.
Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and fold over with a silicone spatula until fully combined and no clumps of flour remain.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and tap it on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake is set in the center and springs back when pressed.
Place the baking sheet on a heat-safe area and using the parchment overhang, lift the cake off the pan. Holding the ends of the parchment carefully roll up the cake in the parchment from one of the shorter ends. Place the rolled cake on a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Add the cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium speed until smooth.
Once the cake has cooled completely, carefully unroll it and spread the cream cheese mixture down the center of the cake. Use a silicone spatula to spread the mixture towards the edges, leaving about an inch on one end to catch the excess frosting.
Carefully re-roll the cake, pulling back the parchment paper and allowing it to rest on the frosting-sealed end.
Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

I use Baker's Joy baking spray on my parchment paper.

Can I fill you in on a little secret? The ends of my roll cakes always turn out ugly. If this happens to you, simply slice them off and hide them away to eat later. Then the cake you present to others will be from the middle and have more of a rolled look to it.
