# Ingredients Required:

→ Cake Batter

01 - 3 large eggs
02 - 200 grams granulated sugar
03 - 165 grams canned pumpkin puree
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 95 grams all-purpose flour
06 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
09 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

→ Filling

10 - 225 grams cream cheese, softened
11 - 57 grams butter, softened
12 - 120 grams powdered sugar
13 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 190°C and line a 25×38 cm jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper.
02 - In a large bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
03 - Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, stirring until fully combined.
04 - Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a separate bowl.
05 - Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just incorporated without overmixing.
06 - Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 13 to 15 minutes until the cake springs back to touch.
07 - Immediately invert the hot cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, remove the parchment paper, then roll the cake with the towel inside and allow it to cool completely.
08 - Beat the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
09 - Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface, then gently re-roll the cake without the towel.
10 - Wrap the rolled cake tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before slicing to set the filling.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Dusting the towel with powdered sugar prevents the cake from sticking when rolling.
