Makes 1 (16- to 17-inch) cake roll

Ingredients
  

  • cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons (4 grams) ground cinnamon
  • teaspoons (3 grams) pumpkin pie spice
  • ¾ teaspoon (2.25 grams) kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) baking soda
  • 5 large eggs (250 grams), room temperature
  • 1 cup (244 grams) canned pumpkin
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
  • teaspoons (6 grams) vanilla extract
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
  • Cream Cheese Filling (recipe follows)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 17x12¼-inch rimmed baking sheet with baking spray with flour. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper; spray parchment.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pie spice, salt, and baking soda.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Whisk in pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until combined. Gradually add flour mixture, whisking until just combined. Spread batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake until cake springs back when lightly pressed in center and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. (Do not overbake.) Immediately run a thin knife around edges of cake to loosen. Evenly dust surface of cake with confectioners’ sugar, and place a clean kitchen towel on top of cake. Top with a large baking sheet or cutting board, and invert cake onto towel; gently peel off parchment. Dust confectioners’ sugar onto cake. Starting with one long side, gently roll up cake and towel together. Place, seam side down, on a wire rack, and let cool completely.
  • Carefully unroll cooled cake. Spread Cream Cheese Filling onto cake, leaving a ¼-inch border on long side that is bottom seam. Gently reroll cake and filling without towel. Carefully transfer roulade to a baking sheet or serving platter, and refrigerate until filling is set, about 20 minutes, or until ready to serve.
  • Just before serving, trim ¼ to ½ inch off ends of roulade, if desired. Garnish with confectioners’ sugar, if desired. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
