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
- Meticulously prepare a rectangular baking sheet by thoroughly coating with non-stick spray and lining with parchment paper, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a sifting motion, creating a uniform powder mixture with gentle, even strokes to eliminate potential lumps.
- Whisk pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, granulated sweetener, and eggs in a separate vessel, blending until the composition appears silky and integrated.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the liquid mixture, stirring with deliberate, smooth circular motions until a consistent, velvety batter emerges.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a level surface.
- 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.
- Allow the pastry to cool completely at room temperature, which prevents potential structural breakdown during frosting application.
- Craft the cream cheese frosting by whipping together softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving a luxuriously smooth consistency.
- Once the pumpkin base has reached ambient temperature, delicately spread the frosting across the surface using an offset spatula for precision.
- 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.
