Very difficult to make. But if you're a good baker, maybe it's easy for you.

spongy cake. Used traditional cream cheese filling instead of whipped cream

This is totally awesome. I have made it twice since finding it and have received nothing but raves about it.

I seem to be the only one disappointed in this recipe! I have been trying to find a Pumpkin Roll recipe that rivals one I tasted years ago in the Bahamas. It was made by a local resident and was out of this world! The cake portion was very dark in color, and that is why I chose this recipe because it looked dark compared to other recipes I've made. Well, mind didn't come out dark at all. It was much lighter in color and I didn't like the texture of it at all. I thought it was very bland also. I've made other pumpking rolls with a cream cheese filling which I prefer over this toffee cream filling. I just was not impressed with this at all.

I love this cake! It's a family favorite. Easy to make, yet VERY impressive! The most recent time I made it, we were making caramel ice cream to complement an apple, pie so I decided to substitute the ice cream rather than use the caramel sauce. It was a terrific substitute. The first time I made this, I was intimidated by the whole rolling part, but it's not an issue at all. Just remove the cake from the pan almost immediately upong removing from the oven. It slips right out of the pan.

I made one for home and four for work and all five were devoured. It's rather sweet, and the rolling is a bit tricky, but the result was delicious and it will surely be made again. Used Captain Morgan's for the rum.

I finally found it!!!! I have been looking for a Pumpkin Roll recipe that would rival the one that I got from a very upscale restaurant. I moved and misplaced the recipe - I was just sick about it. Then I discovered this recipe and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad that I did!! It is incredible!! Just like the one that I used to make!! This is an absolute family favorite - something that I must make several times in the fall. I had no problems whatsoever making this pumpkin roll. I did use a couple of other review suggestions, but other than that I followed the recipe to the letter. Excellent!!!

Bravo. Delicious and Magnifique!! Never would have known it was this easy if I hadn't found it here!! Gotta try this!! I did find the gelatin mixed with the rum part was a bit tricky, and I boshed that a bit, so I added whip cream from a container and an extra tablespoon of the rum to cover my mistake...no problems, it worked great! I'm making this again at Christmas for a party and I am going to omit the gelatin part altogether and save the hassle, since no one even noticed anyway and everyone loved it last time. It's a keeper!!! Thanks! I thought it would take time to make this recipe by the way, I had to send my hubby out for a missing ingredient too and was cutting it close to when it should be done, so when I finally was able to begin, I was amazed at how fast I was able to put this together. Looks like a lot of work, soooo easy though!! forgot to brush the cake with rum too like someone suggested, I think that will be great! I will have to write it into the recipe so I won't forget. the cake part...must use cake flour...it's so flexable. Otherwise it will definately break when rolling. Yummo!
