This was pretty good. My only complaint would be that the cake part was a little bland. Maybe a bit more spice would liven it up. If you are going to use parchment to cook the cake, don't forget to spray it. I found that 12 minutes in the oven sufficed. I had a little trouble with the cake sticking to the towel but thankfully my cake did not break. The filling is awesome. Make sure not to spread it all the way to the ends or else you'll get oozing.

Delish! Because this is a quick and fairly easy recipe, I made 2 rolls and froze one for later. The cream cheese filling is incredible!

I'm a little confused at times on how some of the recipes on this site get RAVE reviews and 5 stars, when they are just mediocre. This recipe was good, but not spectacular. Plus, it's just about the same as the Libby's recipe on the back of their cans of pumpkin. Cake was a bit plain and dense for me, filling was good but sweet. Just your basic cream cheese frosting recipe. Word of advice: DON'T use a damp towel to roll this, use either wax paper or stick free foil. The cake is really moist and will stick and pull apart on the damp towel. Then you will be left with a mess.

I can't attest to this actual recipe as I use my mom's pumpkin roll recipe, but I just wanted to drop a "rolling" hint. We always just line the baking sheet with a large piece of aluminum foil before pouring in the batter. Bake and when done, cool a few minutes in pan, then remove cake and foil from pan, using the foil ends as handles. When cool (cools quickly), frost and roll by peeling foil off as you go. I've never needed to grease the foil, it always peels off fine.

Wow! Simply delicious. I'd never made a pumpkin roll before and this had the highest rating so I just went for it. I followed the recipe, but did add a bit more cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. After baking in an 11x15 pan (lined with parchment and smeared butter on edges of pan), I let it rest for 30-40 min. I sprinkled powder sugar on another piece of parchment to coat it and then laid it onto the top of pumpkin bread. Then, using a rack, flipped it over, and it was super easy at that point. I froze it overnight and thawed it out before serving. It was delicious and even better two days later! Yum!

I have been making this recipe for 4 years now and it has become a tradition around the holidays everybodys favorite request is this roll, so instead of christmas presents I bake smaller rolls for everyone to take home at the end of the night, cant go wrong with it...i did have a few mishaps at the very beginning but like other reviewers i learned from the mistakes now i use parchment paper instead of the towel and i put the icing in the fridge while the cake cools. Thanks a lot for a great recipe

I was disappointed when I couldn't find my favorite pumpkin roll recipe. After searching many variations of this recipe, I decided this one was the closest to what I remembered. I wasn't disappointed. It was perfect!!! This is an easy recipe. I took it to a work luncheon with 16 people and they were wanting seconds! Next time, I'll take two :)

Not as hard as it would appear! I was looking to use up some pumpkin pie spice and that is why I chose this recipe. I pretty much followed the recipe except for a couple of minor things, one I used an 11 x 15 pan lined with parchment paper; be sure to spread the batter pretty evenly, it does not rise like a cake from a box it comes out pretty much like it goes in. Two, I sprinkled the powdered sugar directly on the cake and put the damp towel over it and flipped it out; rolled it up as stated to cool, spread the filling on, added chopped walnuts to half the filling and rolled it up. The final rolling was my only hang up and at first it was because I was trying to roll it too tightly, just lift the towel and let it roll like that, it is perfect. I too wrapped in plastic wrap and then in foil to refrigerate. This really was very easy and quick as well.

Due to a lack of time (and a little laziness), I made the batter in a 9x13, and then frosted them 20 minutes after bringing them out of the oven, rather than rolling them up. We call them pumpkin bars, and they taste just as delicious, with half the time and mess. Great recipe!

I have made these and I found that after I roll it up in the cloth putting it in the fridge to cool works great. You don't have to wait on it to cool so long and the filling works best on a cool cake.

I made the mistake of using cake flour instad of all purpose and I also should have rolled it when the recipe said to instead of waiting 30-40 minute that other reviewers had recommended. I did use parchment paper and it worked wonderfully! The filling was also AWESOME!! I may try this again, but follow the directions exactly, but overall, wasn't entirely impressed, but I think it was my fault so that is why I gave it 4 stars

Fantastic recipe, its the best pumpkin roll recipe I have tried yet, my roommates always ask for them. I highly recommend lining the pan with parchment paper, as one of my cakes wouldn't come out of the pan right and was a disaster (with parchment paper you can just lift it out). I also had a problem with my first cakes cracking. I fixed this by flipping the cake onto some parchment paper sprinkled in confectioner sugar right out of the oven (honestly the sugar is not necessary as my caked were so moist they just absorbed it and I had to cover then again anyways), then I took some paper towels (two of the choose a size ones) and bunched them horizontally and put them at the end and rolled it so the paper towels would be in the middle. I had no problem with either of my cakes cracking when I rolled them this way.
