Spiced Pumpkin Roll Cake

Ingredients

FOR THE CAKE :

eggs - 3

sugar - 1 cup

pumpkin puree - 2/3 cup

lemon juice - 1 tbsp

flour - 3/4 cup

baking powder - 1 tsp

cinnamon - 2 tsp

ginger - 1 tsp

nutmeg - 1/2 tsp

salt - 1 tsp

FOR THE FILLING:

powdered sugar - 1 cup

cream cheese - 1 8 oz package

butter - 1/4 cup, softened

vanilla - 1/2 tsp

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Beat the eggs at high speed for about 5 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, then stir in the pumpkin and lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture.
Spread on an ungreased 10.5" x 15.5" jelly roll pan and bake for about 12 - 15 minutes. (if you don't have a jelly roll pan, and want to use a standard 9x13 baking dish, just add about 3 minutes to the baking time and be very careful when you roll, as it will be a bit thicker and might crack)
Allow the cake to cook in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lay out a kitchen towel and dust well with powdered sugar. Turn the cake out onto the towel, roll up tightly in the towel and allow to cool completely.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until creamy.
Unroll the cooled cake, spread with the filling and re-roll. (without the towel this time)
Slice and serve.
