Hi,

Had a guest ask what cookbook has the "pumpkin roll" Recipe. I could not find it in the Recipes on CC nor in a Files Search. Anyone know?

Thanks!
 
It's in one of the old stoneware cookbooks - Stoneware Sensations or More Stoneware Sensations.

Actually, I have a lot of old PC cookbooks, and that recipe could be in any one of them. I just remember seeing the picture. Sorry.
 
There is a Harvest Pumpkin Cake Roll in SB Fall/Winter 1999...

I'd type it for you, but I don't have this SB :( - I must have borrowed from my Director just so I could index it. Sorry.

Thanks to all of you! = ) You are wonderful and fabulous! I appreciate the info and help!

She insisted in was in one of the cookbooks, because she used to own it. A friend borrowed it and never returned it. I looked it up and did not see it listed, so I assumed she could not purchase another. It's too bad.

What do we do when a guest really wants a recipe and is willing to purchase a cookbook, but it is discontinued?

Tell the guest to look it up on Allrecipes.com. I can usually find every recipe there.

Hmm...I wonder where I saw that recipe. I know I have a picture of it some place. I've made it before, too.

I think that maybe it's an alternate recipe for a lemon roll recipe in (maybe) the old Celebrate Cookbook...
 
Or tell the guest to keep an eye on the Outlet because it just might show up there!

Here are the ones I've found thus far....if any sound like the real deal, let me know! = )


Pumpkin Roll
6 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 ½ cup flour
1 15 pz can of pumpkin
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ginger
2 Tbsp cinnamon

Beat eggs. Add sugar. Add pumpkin. Mix well. Add remaining ingredients until thoroughly mixed.

Bake on large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes. While still in the pan, sprinkle top with powdered sugar, place dishcloth on cake, flip over so cake is on top of the dishcloth, remove pan, sprinkle with powdered sugar (sprinkling the dish towel and the cake before you roll it up helps it not to stick to the towel...pretty clever!).

Bring up the edge of the dishcloth and roll like a cinnamon roll (the long ways), incorporating the dishtowel. This helps make the cake not stick to itself when it's rolled up. Place in fridge to cool. Best if made the night before, or refrigerate at least 4 hours. This time also helps solidify the 'roll'. The towel also protects it from getting dried out.

Frosting
4 cups powdered sugar
1 cube of butter, softened
2 boxes of cream cheese, softened
4 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Beat together sugar, butter, vanilla and cream cheese. Unroll cake and remove dishcloth. Spread ½ frosting and ½ nuts inside; roll up again. Spread top with frosting and sprinkle with nuts.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need for a pumpkin roll recipe?

To make a classic pumpkin roll, you will need the following ingredients: canned pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and powdered sugar for the cream cheese filling. Additionally, you'll need cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract for the filling.

How do I prevent my pumpkin roll from cracking?

To prevent your pumpkin roll from cracking, make sure to bake the cake until it is just set and springs back when touched. Once baked, immediately roll the cake in a clean kitchen towel while it is still warm. This helps to shape it and allows it to cool in the rolled position, which reduces the chances of cracking when you unroll it later.

Can I make a pumpkin roll ahead of time?

Yes, you can make a pumpkin roll ahead of time! It can be baked and filled, then wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage. Just make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.

What can I use instead of cream cheese in the filling?

If you're looking for a substitute for cream cheese in the filling, you can use mascarpone cheese or Greek yogurt for a similar texture. For a dairy-free option, consider using a vegan cream cheese alternative or a mixture of silken tofu blended with a bit of lemon juice and sweetener.

How do I decorate my pumpkin roll for a festive presentation?

To decorate your pumpkin roll, you can dust the top with powdered sugar for a simple and elegant look. For a more festive presentation, consider drizzling melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the top. You can also add chopped nuts or sprinkles, and serve it on a decorative platter with fall-themed garnishes like cinnamon sticks or mini pumpkins.
