Pumpkin Roll Filling Ingredients
For the filling, you will need:- 16 oz. of softened cream cheese
- 1 c. of confectioner's sugar, sifted

Bake the Pumpkin Roll
Combine the cake ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Then pour batter in the pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Pop it in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. When it is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.Set and Refrigerate the Pumpkin Roll
Take your 1/4 c. of powdered sugar and sprinkle it on a fresh piece of parchment paper, wax paper, or a clean dish towel. Invert your pumpkin roll onto that powdered surface and wait 2 or 3 minutes. Now, carefully remove the paper. If there are places that it sticks, carefully cut edge off with a knife.Slowly roll your roll up and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
