Well, I got several recipes once I mentioned my craving a cream cheese filled pumpkin roll.  First was from Jackie (an event coordinator in Indiana), so I decided to give hers a try.  I had all the ingredients on hand, so I got started right away!  I had no idea the unique method of making this, so I thought I’d document the process. It was late at night and I didn’t want to dig out my flash, so these are pretty dark.

First you sprinkle the surface with powdered sugar and a clean dish towel on top of that sprinkled with powdered sugar.  I was so confused how the dish towel played into the recipe, but it is a pretty handy trick!

Then you cook your cake recipe on parchment paper on a jelly roll pan (cooks a thin cake).

Once baked, pull out the paper/cake and place it upside down on the powdered dish towel, and start to peel off the paper

Then you roll up the cake IN the dish towel and let it cool for an hour.  It seemed weird, but worked like a charm.

After the pumpkin roll cools,  you unroll it.

Next, frost the pumpkin roll with the scrumptious cream cheese mixture.

Then roll it back up.  This time without the towel.
