Made this yesterday, and may I say it was totally AWESOME!! I made exactly to the letter, and the only problem I had was a crack in cake when doing final roll, was towards the middle so was easily hidden. I will be making this roll many, many time....thanks BUCHKO

Very good and EASY! My mother told me not to even attempt a dessert roll, but I am glad I did! I added cloves and nutmeg and mixed chopped pecans in the icing. I have 3 brothers and 2 cousins over so this dessert was gone in 5 mins! I suggest doubling for larger families. Also next time I think I will try adding ginger. Overall great recipe and EASY!

My mom made this every year for Thanksgiving and I have carried on the tradition. It's a hit with everyone! I'm not a big nut fan so I leave them out.

I made these for a Halloween bake sale this year but no one bought them haha. Maybe they were too expensive at $3 a slice but my roommate said she's pay that much for them lol. And now she will be eating most of them herself for free, lucky girl. I added 1/2 tsp nutmeg and allspice and 1/4 tsp ginger to give it more of a pumpkin pie taste. I used pecans instead of walnuts and like another reviewer recommended, I put the nuts in the frosting. Very yummy.

My first jelly roll, and it worked out really well--no cracking or falling apart, or anything. I cut down the sugar in the batter to about 2/3 of a cup, and next time, I think I'll do the same with the filling; it was a little too sweet for my taste.

pecans go better than walnuts and instead of just cinnamon I used pumpkin pie spice by a whole tsp

Awesome and simple recipe! Made one for work and people could not stop commenting on how great it was! Had enough pumpkin to make another that same night for my family and folks since there were NO leftovers from the first! Definitely worth making again and again!

This recipe is awesome! It's incredibly easy to make. My friend has requested it as their very non-traditional wedding cake! I had to make 2 in 2 days to satisfy my co-workers. So good and so easy! Thank you!

FABULOUS! I had never tried a rolled cake of any type, but this was super easy. Couldn't believe how fast it was to prepare. I made them as halloween gifts for the neighbors. Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe!!

I've made a few different pumpkin rolls, this one is the best by far. The cream cheese icing is even better, this is the best cream cheese filling recipe ever and I plan on using it for any other recipe that calls for cream cheese filling. Thanks!!!!

LOVE this recipe! I added an 1/8 teaspoon of allspice and an 1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves to the pumpkin cake to give it a little more spice flavor. I also changed flavoring in the filling to be 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. That gives it just a hint of almond that makes this a 5 star recipe! I don't use the nuts since so many people have an aversion to them, and so I've never had one crack upon rolling. I've been making these to sell in my cake business over the last 2 weeks and I have made 15 so far with several more orders for Thanksgiving! I pipe cream cheese frosting along the outside with a shell border in the top and then sprinkle shaved white chocolate. I add some white chocolate leaves and pumpkins for a fun fall flare! Thank you for the fabulous recipe!

Fantastic! This is (with the exception of Cherlys Cookies pumpkin roll) The best pumpkin roll i have ever had. It stayed moist and the filling was great. I added the nuts to the filling as other reviewers recommended. I think if i make this in the future i will add salt, a little more pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice. The Cake part needed a little something, but other then that it was great.

I thought this cake was just average. It has good texture, handles well rolling up, but cake flavor was just OK. Didn't have much of a pumpkin taste, couldn't even taste (or smell) the cinnamon. Might try again using pumpkin pie spice, but I'm not hopeful. Something is missing.
