Libby’s Pumpkin Roll
The first step to creating this delectable pumpkin roll is to gather all of your ingredients. You will need Libby’s canned pumpkin puree, which is made from the finest pumpkins and is an essential ingredient in many pumpkin recipes. You will also need flour, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and baking soda. For the cream cheese filling, you will need cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a greased and parchment-lined jelly roll pan. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Gradually add in the sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Next, add in the pumpkin puree and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake for around 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by sprinkling it with powdered sugar. Once the cake is done baking, immediately invert it onto the prepared kitchen towel. Carefully remove the parchment paper and roll up the cake with the towel, starting from the short end.
Allow the cake to cool completely rolled up in the towel. While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese filling by beating together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface. Carefully roll the cake back up, this time without the towel.
Wrap the rolled pumpkin cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, or until ready to serve. Before serving, dust the top of the pumpkin roll with powdered sugar for an added touch. This delectable dessert can be served chilled or at room temperature, and makes for a beautiful presentation on any dessert table.
So there you have it, a delightful recipe for Libby’s Pumpkin Roll that is sure to impress your family and friends. With its moist pumpkin cake and creamy cream cheese filling, it is the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a sweet treat, this pumpkin roll is a must-try. Enjoy!
