In reply to Zac Richins. So glad you and your wife love it Zac. Wrap it while it's still warm so it holds its shape, then let it cool before gently unrolling and spreading the cream cheese mixture.

This pumpkin roll is perfection! Moist and incredibly delicious. We get a lot of compliments. A favorite holiday gift of ours.

Just made this and can’t wait to try it! My roll has one major crack along the length of it, but I probably caused it in the process of flipping it. I definitely should have finished reading through the comments section. The is my first roll ever and it turned out better than I thought it would. Thanks for the recipe, Heidi! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I’ve made this twice now and everyone loves it. Even my wife, who’s not a pumpkin fan, loved it (that’s why I ended up making it again ). Quick question though, how do you keep it from cracking? I roll it in the towel and let it cool, frost it, and roll it back up but it always cracks down the side during the final roll. Any tips?

I made this today and included the optional pecans. Delicious! I was nervous about flipping it but my husband had no trouble and said the trick is to do it quickly. Definitely a keeper!

In reply to Phyl. Sprinkle the towel with the powdered sugar then place the towel sugar side down on top of the cake. Top that with a cooling rack and then flip! You'll then have the cooling rack on the bottom and the inverted cake. From there, roll as I've shared above. Good luck!

Hi! The moment I took first read I decide I gonna bake it. So I deed (now it’s cooling in the fridge. Only down side lots of brakes during rolling with cream cheese feeling. Not sure what have I done wrong… Sugared towel – checked. Roll up and let it cool – check… Any suggestions for next try? Thank you.

I make this exact recipe frequently and I love it! Do you have any special tips on turning the cake onto the powder sugar coated towel? I must say I do get it done, but am always nervous about that technique.

Could sweet potato be substituted for the pumpkin
