Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1 tsp (2g) salt
- 1 tbsp (6g) ground cinnamon
- 1 can (15 oz / 425g) pumpkin puree
- 4 large (200g) eggs
- 1/2 cup (115g) melted unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- 8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar for dusting
- 1/2 cup (60g) finely chopped pecans
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan and line with parchment paper. Heavily dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
- Whisk the granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, and eggs together until smooth. Slowly fold in the melted butter and vegetable oil.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until the streaks of flour disappear.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle the chopped pecans across the top.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until the center is springy to the touch and edges are slightly pulling away.
- Immediately flip the hot cake onto the sugar-dusted towel and peel away the parchment paper.
- Starting from the short end, roll the cake tightly into a log using the towel. Let it cool completely in this rolled position.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and butter until velvety. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Gently unroll the cooled cake, spread the cream cheese filling in an even layer, and re-roll the cake tightly.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm the filling before slicing.
