Pumpkin Roll

From

October/November 2009

Pumpkin Roll

To create the base for our Pumpkin Roll, we baked the cake on a sheet of greased parchment paper, making it easier to remove it from the pan when it came time to roll. Softening the cream cheese at room temperature made it easier to spread onto the cake. Much to our surprise, it was not hard to roll a fully baked cake. While the cake was still hot, we used a fresh sheet of parchment paper to roll it into a log to train it into that shape. We let it cool, then unrolled the cake, spread the filling over the top, and gently re-rolled it.

Makes an 11-inch log

The simple pumpkin sponge cake with Fluffy Cheesecake Frosting needs no more than a dusting of powdered sugar.

Dear Home Cook,

If I were new to CooksCountry.com, I might think, "It's easy to get free recipes on the Internet. What makes your recipes different?" Well, unlike recipes from blogs, message boards, and other recipe sites, our recipes are exhaustively tested by our team of full-time test cooks until they offer consistently great results. That means fried chicken with a crunchy coating and moist meat, a low-fat recipe makeover for macaroni and cheese that’s as creamy and cheesy as the full-fat version, and fork-tender slow cooker pot roast.

We're obsessive in our quest to find and foolproof the best of American home cooking, from fuss-free weeknight dinners, to updated, simplified versions of regional specialties, to slow cooker and make ahead meals. CooksCountry.com is the only place you can find every foolproof recipe published in Cook’s Country magazine since 2005, plus objective ratings and test results from both Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated for cookware and supermarket ingredients.

Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I’m pretty confident that CooksCountry.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from a quick Tuesday supper to your next get-together with family and friends.

Thanks for your consideration,

Christopher Kimball
