For the Filling:
8ouncescream cheesesoftened
3tablespoonsbutterunsalted and softened
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1cuppowdered sugarplus more for dusting
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Cover a 9x13 inch sheet pan with parchment paper. Leave an extra inch of parchment paper over the top of the pan on each side. This will help to remove the cake later when it’s done.
Spray the pan with butter cooking spray, lay the parchment paper in the pan pushing the paper down, then spray the parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients; flour, sugar, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice. Add pumpkin puree and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Using a frosting spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the mixture evenly in the pan.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes.
Once the cake is done, remove from the oven. Let the cake cool for a few minutes before lifting the cake from the pan. Grab on side of the parchment paper and pull up, slowly sliding the cake keeping the parchment paper intact onto another surface to roll. Starting at one of the shorter ends, roll the cake with the parchment still intact. Be careful! The cake is still hot. Roll the cake using the sides of the parchment paper that was not touching the cake and/or use your fingers covered with oven mitts. Let the cake cool for at least 20 minutes.
While the cake is cooling, make the filling. Add cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract and powdered sugar to a mixing bowl. Use a blender set to a slow speed, at first, because you do not want powdered sugar everywhere! Blend for 30 seconds. Increase the speed of the blender to medium speed and mix another 30 seconds. Set aside.
When the cake has cooled, unroll it. Spread the filling over the cake leaving 1-inch border around the cake. Re-roll the cake removing the parchment paper at the same time.
Wrap the Pumpkin Spice Roll with plastic wrap. Keep refrigerated for up to a week. Before serving, dust the cake with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
