Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray, for coating the cake pan
Flour for dusting the cake pan
1 package (18.25 ounces) spice cake mix
1 cup canned pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie mix
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup water
3 extra large eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Confectioners sugar for dusting on top

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Lightly mist a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and then dust it with flour.
  • Place the cake mix, pumpkin, oil, water, eggs and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are blended together, about 30 seconds.
  • Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • Beat the mixture on medium speed for another 1 - 2 minutes longer, until the batter is smooth and thick.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth out the top with the rubber spatula.
  • Bake the cake until the top springs back when you press it lightly with a finger, 42 to 48 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Run a long, sharp knife around the edges of the cake and shake the pan gently to loosen it. Invert the cake onto a wire rack.
  • Let the cake cool completely, about 30 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar or drizzle with a little caramel sauce, if desired

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 20

Cooking spray
1 cup (about 4 ounces) white whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
3 large eggs
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsifted powdered sugar, divided
1 (8 ounce) package 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
⅓ cup plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp. unsifted powdered sugar
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan with cooking spray. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, ginger, nutmeg and cloves in a large bowl.
  • Beat eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed until light, fluffy and pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Add pumpkin and vanilla; beat until fully combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Add flour mixture to egg mixture; gently fold in using a spatula until combined. Pour batter into prepared jellyroll pan, gently spreading to edges of pan using an offset spatula. Bake in preheated oven until cake is dry to the touch and edges have pulled away from pan, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sift 2 tablespoons of the powdered sugar onto a clean linen kitchen towel. Once cake is finished baking, immediately invert onto towel, and carefully remove parchment paper from cake. Sift 2 tablespoons of the powdered sugar on top of cake to cover thoroughly. Starting with 1 short end, roll up cake and towel together toward the opposite end (working fast while cake is still hot so it does not crack). Let rolled cake cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Beat cream cheese and yogurt with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar, maple syrup and vanilla; beat on medium-high speed until combined and smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside at room temperature until ready to use.
  • Gently unroll cake, and remove towel. Spread filling in an even layer on top of cake. Re-roll cake in the same direction, and place on a serving platter. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours. Dust with remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and serve.

Pumpkin Roll, Lightened Up image

This classic pumpkin roll recipe is made lighter than traditional recipes with a delicious pumpkin spiced sponge cake and a light cream cheese filling.

Provided by Gina

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
non-stick spray (I used Smart Balance)
1/4 cup powdered sugar (to sprinkle on towel)
6 oz light cream cheese (at room temperature (NOT fat free))
3/4 cup powdered sugar
6 oz fat free Fage Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
powdered sugar (optional for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and place oven rack in the center of the oven. Spray a 15 x 10 inch baking pan with non-stick spray, line it with parchment paper, then spray a little more non-stick spray and lightly flour the parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, allspice, and salt into a large bowl.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar together in your electric mixer or hand mixer. Beat on high speed for five minutes, or until thick, pale yellow, and fluffy. (When you slowly raise the beaters the batter will fall back into the bowl in slow ribbons.)
  • Beat in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the sifted flour mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, evenly spreading the cake batter with a spatula or knife.
  • Bake about 13 - 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake, when lightly pressed, springs back.
  • Sprinkle a clean dish towel with confectioners' sugar.
  • Immediately upon removing the cake from the oven invert the pumpkin roll onto the clean dish towel. Carefully remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and sprinkle lightly with confectioners sugar; roll the pumpkin roll up with the towel, while it is still hot and pliable. Place on a wire rack to cool.
  • Beat the cream cheese, yogurt, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat until smooth; fold in the walnuts.
  • Refrigerate at least one hour.
  • Unroll the pumpkin roll, spread with the filling, and re-roll. Transfer to your serving platter; cover and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. (You can serve this cake immediately but chilling it overnight sets the filling and makes it easier to slice.)
  • Just before serving, lightly dust with powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and prepped. This includes sifting the dry ingredients together and preparing the pumpkin puree.
  • Properly whipped egg whites: For a light and airy cake roll, ensure the egg whites are whipped until stiff peaks form. This will help create volume in the batter.
  • Folding technique: When incorporating the egg whites into the batter, use a gentle folding motion to avoid deflating the air. This will help maintain the cake roll's lightness.
  • Even spreading: When pouring the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spread it evenly to ensure consistent thickness throughout the cake roll.
  • Baking time: Keep a close eye on the cake roll during baking. Over-baking can dry it out, so it's best to check for doneness a minute or two before the recommended time.
  • Cooling and rolling: Allow the cake roll to cool completely before attempting to roll it. This will prevent it from cracking. When rolling, use a parchment paper or a silicone mat to help you achieve a tight, even roll.
  • Filling and chilling: Use a chilled filling for the cake roll, as this will help it hold its shape better. Chill the cake roll after filling to allow the filling to set and the cake to firm up.

Conclusion:

This low-fat pumpkin cake roll offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures, making it a perfect treat for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, rich pumpkin flavor, and creamy filling, it's sure to be a hit among pumpkin lovers.
