Overall it had a good flavor. But I learned the hard way it is NOT a make-a-day-ahead dessert. Silly me. It cooked up fine, nice texture and height. Rolled up great. The spread was the right consistency. Then I put it in the fridge to hold for dinner the next day. Mistake! When I pulled it out the next day, the cake part was thin, dry and hard. I might try this one again on a night when we can enjoy it that same evening.

Anything rolled is always intimidating, but the towel trick worked very well. This was easy and delicious.

My sister has been making this for Thanksgiving for years, and it is truly delicious. Very filling, and a nice alternative to pumpkin pie.

I make about 12 of these every year for a bakesale I do. I get 12.00 for them. I always use wax paper to line my pan and grease and flour it. Sorta messy but worth it.

Although my cake cracked, i did fill it with maple-walnut ice cream. I know this is off-topic but a great taste combo.

As big a fan of pumpkin rolls I am, I've always been intimidated by actually making one. This was my first attempt and it was a piece of cake! Not to mention delicious!! I did make a few minor changes, I substituted pecans for the walnuts, and I only cooked it for 12 min because I used a convection oven, any longer and the edges would've browned. I lined my pan with parchment which prevented any sticking. I also think I could've dusted my towel with more powdered sugar, it didn't stick, but it wasn't enough to coat the top when I unrolled it. This is Definitely a keeper!

This was just like ex-mother in law used to make. It is a wonderful recipe. You have to pay close attention when putting the confectioners sugar on the towels. If you don't use enough it will stick to the towel but after you have made this a couple of times you should get the hang of it. The crean cheese filling is so good. I made it for christmas and it was gone before I knew it!

Great pumpkin roll! It was harder than some desserts I make, but I followed the directions almost perfectly and it turned out great. I kept it rolled in the towel for not quite an hour. I also used a little more cinnamin and substituted pecans for the walnuts. The filling was perfect and the bread rolled nicely without cracking.

Thanks for this recipe. My family and friends loved it. I will definitely make it again and again. It looks hard to make but it's not. I followed the recipe without changing anything.

This recipe is just like the one I have but when you get your kitchen towel out,sprinkle it with powdered sugar then put the cake on it, then roll it up. Delicious! Diana Nelson-Rodgers

Followed the recipe exactly, no problems! I wish I could have tasted it after two nights, as the other reviewer said, but this roll didn't even see the next day! And there were only two of us eating it! HA! Delish!

This tasted wonderfully. However, I had some problems with the cake sticking to the towel despite the sprinkling of powdered sugar. I also found the frosting too runny, and could not roll the loaf back up.
