Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour

Spices and Leavening Agents:

  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt

Filling and Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces (226 g) cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Meticulously prepare a rectangular baking sheet by thoroughly coating with non-stick spray and lining with parchment paper, ensuring complete surface coverage.
  2. Combine all dry ingredients in a sifting motion, creating a uniform powder mixture with gentle, even strokes to eliminate potential lumps.
  3. Whisk pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, granulated sweetener, and eggs in a separate vessel, blending until the composition appears silky and integrated.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the liquid mixture, stirring with deliberate, smooth circular motions until a consistent, velvety batter emerges.
  5. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a level surface.
  6. Position in a preheated oven set at 350°F, baking for approximately 25-30 minutes until the edges slightly pull away and a inserted toothpick reveals minimal moisture.
  7. Allow the pastry to cool completely at room temperature, which prevents potential structural breakdown during frosting application.
  8. Craft the cream cheese frosting by whipping together softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving a luxuriously smooth consistency.
  9. Once the pumpkin base has reached ambient temperature, delicately spread the frosting across the surface using an offset spatula for precision.
  10. Chill the dessert briefly to set the frosting, then slice into elegant rectangular portions for serving.

Notes

  • Check pan size precisely to ensure even baking and perfect texture.
  • Sifting dry ingredients prevents lumps and creates a smoother, more consistent cake base.
  • Room temperature eggs blend more evenly, helping create a lighter, fluffier pumpkin roll.
  • Cream cheese frosting works best when ingredients are softened but not melted, guaranteeing a silky smooth consistency.
