Our Pumpkin Roll is No-Fuss, No-Mess, All Flavor

Don’t be intimidated to make pumpkin roll! It’s the most basic sheet cake, rolled up to look fancier than it is. And we don’t mess with your Grandma’s old-fashioned method of dumping the cake on a towel covered in powdered sugar—what a mess! My method is the easiest and works great every single time! If you want to take this dessert to the next level, try using homemade pumpkin purée.

How to Make a Pumpkin Roll

Prep Pan: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 10×15” pan with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper and leaving an extra inch of parchment paper hanging over the long sides so you can easily lift it up after it bakes. Lightly spray the parchment paper with non-stick spray.

Make Batter: Combine flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Mix eggs, vanilla, sugar, and pumpkin in a separate bowl, until smooth. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients, just stirring until combined.
