In a large bowl whisk eggs for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, pumpkin puree and vanilla. Whisk until combined. Add flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt to batter. Whisk until everything is smooth and combined.

What is the best way to roll a pumpkin roll so that it doesn’t crack?

How to Make a Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

When you’re making pumpkin rolls, or any type of jelly roll, the thin cake can easily crack when you roll it around the filling.

The main trick in preventing cracking is to roll the cake while it is still warm and pliable.

This part is hot, so please be careful.

Carefully roll up hot cake with the parchment paper still attached, starting at one of the short ends.

Roll up as tight as you can.

Let cake sit out on the counter until completely cool, about an hour or two.

When cake is almost cool, make the cream cheese filling.

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.

Mix until smooth and creamy.

When cake is completely cooled, gently unroll the cake, and carefully remove the parchment paper.

Go slow so you don’t rip the cake.

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.

Roll cake back up and cover with plastic wrap.

Place in refrigerator until chilled.
