This recipe was so good. Oh my goodness. This recipe was the first one I have ever made and my hubby and I loved it. My cake part did crack a little bit but that's alright because it didn't change the flavor which was perfect!!! Thank you for the recipe!!

I've never made a roll before so I was a little nervous, but this recipe was so easy! Tastes amazing, and looks festive. Everyone raved about it. I read the other reviews and used wax paper on both sides of the towel when rolling while the cake was still warm, then refrigerating to cool. I also rolled the finished product in wax paper to keep it fresh overnight. Came out great!

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!
