Now that the votes are tallied and the Winner has been posted, I've decided to go ahead and fulfill your request to post all four pumpkin recipes. I just can't help myself - they are all awesome and I love anything autumn! I hope that you will enjoy them as much as my family has.
I'll start with the Runner-Up: Pumpkin Roll. Honestly, I don't take this one to fall events with family and close friends anymore - because they've all asked for the recipe and will already be serving it! This recipe tied for second place with the cupcakes, which are still to come. But this Pumpkin Roll has achieved a certain fame.
WHAT YOU NEED:
small to med. jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with edges
lint-free tea towel
wax paper
powdered sugar
CAKE:
3 eggs or whites
2/3 cup pumpkin
1 C. sugar
3/4 C. flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
FILLING:
8 oz. softened cream cheese
2 tbls softened butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 C. powdered sugar
WHAT TO DO:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Grease cookie sheet and line with wax paper
- Mix cake ingredients together, pour evenly onto cookie sheet and bake for 15 min.
- Smooth out dish towel across counter and sprinkle with powdered sugar
- Tip cake from pan directly onto towel while hot and roll gently (jelly-roll style, the towel and the wax paper will become wrapped within the cake roll for now.) Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Beat the filling ingredients together until creamy
- Gently unroll cake, peel off wax paper, spread on filling, and re-roll (minus towel :)
- Sprinkle the outside of the cake roll with a little powdered sugar (to absorb moisture or it will stick) and wrap in wax paper first and then again in tin foil. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice into 1/2 inch servings.
