the pumpkin roll

I had the best time baking the day before Thanksgiving with my mom.  She taught me to make her pumpkin roll, and it was a huge success.  Although all the flipping, rolling, and unrolling was a bit intimidating - it was delicious and turned out beautifully.  The recipe is below, more for my sake than anyone else's :)

 Pumpkin Roll

• 3 eggs
• 2/3 c. pumpkin
• 1 t. lemon juice
• 3/4 c. flour
• 1 c. sugar
• 1 t. baking powder
• 1 t. ginger
• 2 t. cinnamon
• 1/2 t. nutmeg
• 1/2 t. salt

The Frosting

• 6 oz. red. fat cream cheese
• 4 T. butter
• 1 c. powdered sugar
• 1/2 t. vanilla

Beat eggs on high speed.  Gradually add pumpkin and lemon juice.  Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl and gradually add to wet ingredients.  Pour batter in a greased jelly roll pan, greased and lined with greased and floured parchment paper.  Bake 15-20 min. at 375.

Flip onto a towel sprinkled with powdered sugar and roll up while warm.  Unroll and spread with frosting when cool.  Roll back up and refrigerate overnight.

Enjoy!
