I have made this recipe several times and it is a hit. Maybe adding the lemon juice last is the secret, but I have always mixed the beaten eggs, sugar, pumpkin and lemon juice first and then added the rest of the mixed dry ingredients and gently folded them into the batter. Otherwise the texture of the cake is fairly tough if they are just mixed in. If you like carrot cake or zucchini cake with cream cheese frosting, you will love this and it is attractive to serve.

I tried the version of this in the Halloween 07 download for this site. Same recipe with a full cup of pumpkin puree and only one package of cream cheese. My husband loved it and brought some to work where his coworkers fough over the last piece. It's a bit sweet of my taste and I lost quite a bit of frosting rolling it. Maybe next time I will only use 1/2 cup confectioners sugar with one package of cream cheese and only frost the first 3/4-4/5 of the roll leting the oozing frosting push it's way to the bottom.

This is sort of a "spin" on traditional pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting except even yummier (because of the pecans) and 3X as pretty. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out lovely. It would be perfect to bring to any Fall gather, or for something special for your family. To make 12 servings, you do have to cut the slices rather thin. I'd say slice them a little thicker and plan on serving 8. Thanks for the great recipe!

My whole family loved this recipe. I'm not fond of pumpkin so I used pupkin pie filling for a milder flavor and it turned out great. I've made this three times now and only had trouble with it cracking (nothing that couldn't be hidden) once and I think it's because I cooked that one slightly longer. The others rolled up perfectly, taking them out while they still had a very moist feel to them rather than "bounce". Thanks for sharing, I will be adding this one to my family must haves.

This was great! Even clumsy me could make a beautiful roll! I followed reviews and gently folded in dry ingredients to prevent over-mixing. Next time I will grease and lightly flour the wax paper. Its really important to chill the cake. Refridgerate over night for best results! Next time I will add a little lemon or orange zest to freshen it up. Great cake! Beautiful presentation!

I made this for a group of Texas friends and it was a hit. I think it was the pecans that did it. I used a little bit too much filling, so it was a kinda hard to roll up but that is because it was my first time. This was so good that we finished it before the camera could come out. Maybe next time I'll get a picture. Thank You for the great recipe.
