  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Directions


  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

  1. Make the Cake Batter:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.

  • In a larger bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 3 minutes.

  • Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

  • Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

  1. Bake the Cake:

  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when touched.

  1. Roll the Cake:

  • While the cake is still warm, lift it out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper.

  • Starting at one of the short ends, roll the cake up with the parchment paper inside.

  • Let it cool completely on a wire rack.

  1. Prepare the Filling:

  • Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

  1. Assemble the Swiss Roll:

  • Carefully unroll the cooled cake.

  • Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.

  • Re-roll the cake, peeling off the parchment paper as you go.

  • Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

  1. Serve:

  • Before serving, dust with additional powdered sugar if desired.
