Its that time of year..
November 25th, 2008 . by ericaTime to try to make all baked goods out of PUMPKIN!! I love pumpkin. Its so yummy. And you know what goes great with pumpkin.. cream cheese. A friend of mine gave me this recipe.. actually I don’t know where she got it from so I really don’t k now who to give credit to. I am very sorry. Whoever came up with this.. let me know. I’ll give you credit where credit is deserved. This recipe is wonderful. It really is. The cake is very moist and the cream cheese.. well cream cheese is just good no matter what. Make it for yourself and you shall see. This is definitely going on my Thanksgiving Menu!
Cake:
3 eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin
1 cup granulated sugar
1 t baking soda
3/4 cup flour
Filling:
2 T cake batter
8 oz cream cheese
3/4 t vanilla extract
1 c powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
Preheat oven to 350. Mix cake batter. Place wax paper on a small greased jelly roll pan. I used a small one. If you are making large rolls you can use
a large pan like the size of a regular cookie sheet. In this case do not half the recipe. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the pan and bake for 15 minutes. Dust a dish towel (I use the kind that does not have lint) with powdered sugar to prevent it from sticking. Flip the cake on to the towel and let it cool slightly. Peel off the wax paper and roll the cake up inside of the towel. Let it cool completely, unroll the cake and spread half of the filling inside, then roll the cake again. Slice and serve.
It makes two cakes, and they freeze well.
