Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan by greasing it and lining it with waxed paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.

  3. In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs using an electric mixer until well blended. Stir in pumpkin purée. Add the flour mixture and stir until just blended.

  4. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

  7. Turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel and remove the waxed paper. Starting with the short end of the cake, roll both the cake and towel up into a log. Allow it to cool completely for about 30 minutes.

  8. While the cake is cooling, prepare the filling by beating cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, butter, pumpkin purée, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth.

  9. Spread a large sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface and carefully unroll the cooled cake onto it.

  10. Spread the filling over the cake and then re-roll the cake without the towel.

  11. Wrap the cake carefully with plastic wrap and place it
