There are a number of pumpkin cake rolls here on Zaar, but I feel okay adding this one as it is a bit more diet-friendly than others listed here. The recipe comes from the November 2008 issue of Healthy Cooking magazine, and was submitted by Heidi Reinhard of Montpelier, IN. She suggests that for a frozen dessert, replace the filling with reduced-fat vanilla ice cream. I have only made it with the cream cheese filling, but I imagine that would be delicious! The nutmeg and cloves are my additions; I didn't measure when I added them so I'm making an assumption. You can add or omit them to your tastes. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
3/4 cup sugar |
2/3 cup canned pumpkin |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon clove |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, divided |
1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided |
6 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed |
1 teaspoon butter |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan with waxed paper. Coat the paper with cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs for 3 minutes.
2. Gradually add sugar; beat for 2 minutes or until mixture becomes thick and lemon-colored. Beat in pumpkin and extract.
3. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger and salt; fold into pumpkin mixture. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
4. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched (do not overbake). Cool for 5 minutes.
5. Invert onto a kitchen towel dusted with 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar. Gently peel off waxed paper. Roll up cake in the towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool completely on a wire rack.
6. For filling, in a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and remaining confectioners' sugar until fluffy.
7. Unroll cake; spread filling evenly over cake to within 1/2 inches of edges. Roll up again. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
