Pumpkin Roll Cake

Pumpkin Roll Cake

"This Pumpkin Roll Cake features a spiced pumpkin bread filled with a delicious cream cheese frosting. It’s a great dessert for celebrating chilly fall days! Sometimes called a Swiss roll, jelly roll or cake roll, a roll cake is a rolled sponge cake that gets filled with whipped cream, frosting or jam. The origin of this style of cake is a bit murky, but it is generally accepted that cake rolls originated in Europe sometime during the 19th century. Here in the United States, Swiss Cake Rolls (made by Little Debbie) are a common brand and a childhood favorite. As with most baked goods, the homemade version is usually better than the store-bought version. I can say that is definitely true for the chocolate cake roll. As far as this pumpkin version? I’ve never come across a store-bought version, but I can say the homemade version is fantastic! It has that “wow factor” when you bring it out to the table, and then it was another “wow factor” once folks take a bite!"
