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 pumpkin roll recipe appealed to me above the others because of all the yummy spices and nuts. If I'm going to bake something I want it to be good! This definitely was. The flavor was excellent; reminiscent of a carrot cake, but with a smoother texture. I overbaked this a bit, so it began to crack when I rolled it up. I salvaged it by cutting the cake into three 5" sections, spreading each one with a layer of the filling (I only needed about half the recipe), and stacking them. It ended up looking more like a torte. I drizzled the top with melted white chocolate and added some whole pecans. You'd never guess that it wasn't supposed to look that way. This recipe looks like you've spent a ton of time cooking, but you really haven't. Especially nice since you can make it the night before. Definitely a keeper for the autumn dessert season.

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.

I look forward to making pumpkin rolls every fall. The pecans we're a wonderful addition. I would use fifty percent more, if not double the amount of frosting called for in this recipe.

I made this with fresh pumpkin. Turned out very well. I brought it to Thanksgiving dinner and everyone liked it.

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.

Make this for Thanksgiving & was a big hit. Made it the night before & refrigerated. Turned out great & was easier to prepare than I expected. I think this will be a regular each year at Thanksgiving!

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!

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!

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.
