Pumpkin Roll

Pumpkin Roll

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1 C sugar

2/3 C pumpkin

3/4 C flour

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Beat eggs until fluffy, slowly add sugar and continue to beat. Then mix in remaining ingredients. Pour and smooth evenly into a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. *I prefer parchment. Bake at 375 degs for 12 mins. Cool and sprinkle a light layer of powder sugar over. Invert on to clean surface, towel or parchement paper work well. Spread cream cheese filling evenly over inverted cake. Gently roll cake "hot dog" style so that the cake is the length of the cookie sheet. Place on large platter and sprinkle with powder sugar. Refrigerate and serve chilled. To cut slices of the pumpkin roll, use a piece of floss or string, same as cutting out homemade cinnamon rolls.
