Made this on Halloween for a dinner party, everyone went crazy for it. I add walnuts to the cake as well as vanilla extract, extra cinnamon and nutmeg. Took another reviews suggestion and add orange zest and juice to the filling...really gave it a nice flavor especially when it sits overnight.

there are lots of recipes for this & the real key to them is you need the recipe with the lemon juice in it. i have been making this for years & it is requested all the time. i lost my recipe but yours is exactly how i made it before. thanks for sharing.

I tried this last night and my husband loved it! I used the parchament paper as suggested by another person and it worked well, as did a jelly roll pan which made the cake thinner and easy to roll up. This was really easy to make so now I will be making this often! Thanks!!

I have used this recipe for several years, and it is the easiest and most delicious pumkin roll I have ever had. I would eat this over pumpkin pie any day! Thanks for such a wonderful and easy to follow recipe!!

I have been craving a pumpkin roll, and this really hit the spot. This recipe is fabulous, and unless you care to adjust for taste, you really don't need to change a thing. New cooks can find a variety of proportions of spice to make their own Pumpkin Spice...There are even several here on All Recipes. There are a few keys to getting this to turn out right: - A thinner cake layer is much easier to work with. I used a 13x15 baking tray. - Use parchment paper. If you haven't discovered the joys of baking with parchment, you don't know how hard you've been making your life. - Cooking spray or shortening is really necessary to spray on the parchment or baking pan. When you are working with something so thin, one little crack could spell disaster. - Use the moist linen towel!! Not only does it prevent your cake from cracking, but it helps the cake stay moist as it cools. Kudos for a wonderful recipe, and happy cooking!

Outstanding! I made 2 for a Halloween party and they were gone. I followed suggestions here about how to make the roll work - used wax paper on the bottom of the jelly roll pan and flipped it out of the pan and rolled it while it was still hot. I then chilled the cream cheese mixture for 2 hours and let the cake cool for over an hour. It rolled perfectly. I will definitely be using this at my Mother-in-Law's for Thanksgiving since it is guaranteed to FINALLY impress her!

I always make this exactly as the recipe states, and it comes out perfectly. The one trick I have learned is to line the baking sheet with PARCHMENT paper. It works better than cooking spray or wax paper.

This was so good. I was surprised at how easy it really was and the taste was fabulous. It is tasty served cold with a hot cup of coffee. I did learn the hard way not to rush it...let it cool completely before filling. I tried the waxed papaer on the towel like suggested and it seemed to cause a bit of moisture from the heat against the towel. Next time I will only ise the dusted towel. Great recipe, thanks.

MUCH EASIER THAN YOU EXPECT! I would recommend anybody to try this roll. The first time I made it I had one small tear in the cake while I was rolling it up, but that's it! It's important to make sure the cake is cooled before icing it, and use wax paper on the baking sheet and also on top of the towel. I used a regular old terry towel and it never stuck (I dusted it on both sides with icing sugar). Yummy!!

Quite good, quite sweet! A 10x15 pan works, I kind of wanted it even more spread out than that, but I was skeptical. I think I'll try a bigger pan next time. 1/3 less fat cream cheese and Light Smart Balance turn out fine in the filling! I lined my pan with oiled foil and had to peel and cut it off slowly after I had flipped it onto the towel when it was done baking.

The taste of this was very good, and I got rave reviews from my coworkers, who said this pumpkin roll tastes just like the one their grandma made! That to me is one of the highest compliments. I had difficulty with rolling it up without having it crack. It wasn't the prettiest role, but the taste more than made up for it!
