Gluten Free Pumpkin Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

This was my first attempt at making a rolled cake.  It was surprisingly easy and looks fancy!  The cake is extremely moist and the cream cheese filling adds a nice creamy texture.

 

Ingredients:

Cake:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 3/4 cup Domata Recipe Ready  gluten free flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling:

• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 4 tablespoons Butter, softened
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

In large bowl, combine eggs and sugar, beating with an electric mixer until thick and light yellow in color. Add pumpkin and lemon juice, mixing until blended.

In separate bowl, combine Domata Recipe Ready gluten free flour, baking powder, spices and salt. Add to egg mixture, mix until just blended. Spread batter into greased and waxed-paper lined 10-by-15-inch jelly-roll pan.

Bake at 350 ° for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool for 15 minutes. Place cake on clean tea towel sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar. Cool 10 minutes longer. From 10- inch side, roll cake up in towel. Set aside.

While cake is cooling in towel, prepare filling. Beat together cream cheese and butter; stir in powdered sugar and vanilla and blend until smooth.

Unroll cake. Evenly spread filling over cake. Roll up cake (without the towel). Wrap in plastic wrap. Cover and chill at least 1 hour. Slice before serving. Keep leftover slices refrigerated. This pumpkin roll freezes well, and makes about 10 servings.
