Baking with Bonnie- Homemade Pumpkin Roll

I share this recipe every year.  This is the best and only pumpkin roll recipe I will make.  It’s from my friend Jennifer Dye’s Mom- Joann Dye.

I try to make a few every year to give to family and friends.  And I always make one for my husband and me to enjoy.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Pumpkin roll mixture:

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cinnamon

3/4 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

2/3 cup pumpkin

1/2 cup nuts (optional)

With a hand or stand mixer, beat the eggs for 3 min until light and frothy.  Add in the rest of the ingredients 1 at a time.

Spray a cookie sheet or jelly pan with a non-stick pan. Pour mixture evenly into your pan and bake for 10 to 15 min.  Cake is done when it springs back from pressure.

Spread a dish towel flat and sprinkle with powdered sugar.  Turn out cake onto dish towel using the parchment paper for leverage.  Tuck the end of the towel over the cake and roll it up in the towel.  Let cool.

When cake is cooling prepare your filling.
