Method

15 steps

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk 3/4 cup sugar and 3 eggs for about 2 minutes at medium speed until well combined and slightly frothy.
Add 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice extract and mix briefly.
In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 cup pumpkin puree to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until smooth and homogeneous.
Prepare a baking sheet (approximately 18x13 inches or similar size) by greasing it lightly and lining with parchment paper.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is fully cooked.
Remove from oven and let cool on a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese filling: beat 8 oz cream cheese and 4 tbsp salted butter until smooth and creamy.
Add 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice extract, mixing until well combined and smooth.
Carefully unroll the cooled cake from the parchment paper, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface, then re-roll the cake tightly.
Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Before serving, dust with additional powdered sugar and optionally top with whipped cream.
