PUMPKIN ROLL
Give me ALL the pumpkin! Last week I shared my new favourite pumpkin cookies, did you notice them. They are CHEWY (not cakey). Picture your favourite chocolate chip cookie that’s crisp at the backyard and comfortable at the inside–and then upload pumpkin spice flavors to it. YUMMMMM.
Keeping with my pumpkin obsession, I actually have been so excited to offer this recipe an replace for you all.

You simply can’t beat a vintage pumpkin roll recipe, and this one has a trick for making the job simpler then ever.
I recognize many folks keep away from making pumpkin rolls as the job appears tricky. This method, however, is primary and totally fool-proof! Most recipes have you ever invert the baked cake onto a huge towel that has been dusted with powdered sugar. Then you’re meant to roll the cake up within the towel. Honestly, this technique has all of the time been a dusty, powdered-sugary MESS for me. Not to point out which you simply cease up with a sticky mess of a rag whilst it’s done.
Guys, there may be such a BETTER and EASIER way! Parchment paper is the trick! The greatest tip to creating an easy, mess-free pumpkin roll is to roll the pumpkin cake up internal the parchment paper that it was baked on. Allow it to cool. Then unroll it and unfold with cream cheese frosting.

Then unfold the cake batter on best of the parchment paper within the jelly roll pan and sleek it into an even layer. Bake it for about 15 minutes.
