Pumpkin Roll II

“My mom has made this for years, she always used to pack a slice in my lunch box during the holidays. This is a great recipe, we usually beat the eggs 3 minutes before sugar is added, don’t use ginger and sprinkle chopped walnuts over the batter before baking. Also we always cover the tea towel with a thin layer of powdered sugar first it helps to prevent sticking and gives it a finished look!”

“I have had a similar recipe and used it for about 17 years. I put powder sugar on towel before I roll up. My recipe had double the amount of filling. You can use a 9×13 pan for this cake I have. I also to make sure comes out of pan easily grease pan, line with aluminum foil or parchment and grease that before I put in cake batter.”

“Great pumpkin roll.I did add crystalized ginger Recipe #102933 and loved it.”

“My husband’s grandmother makes these and they’re delicious!It’s exactly the same recipe, except she puts 1/2 c nuts on top of the batter before baking it.Also, she advises putting powdered sugar on the tea towel before rolling around a paper towel cardboard tube.I can’t wait to make these myself!”

“Not a big winner in my book. It was really dense and wet, my powdered sugar got wet from the moisture and was more like a glaze… We will eat it but will not make it again.”

“I selected to make this recipe because it was printed in the paper from the city I was born in.I wasn’t disappointed.It was my first cake roll and found it much easier than I expected.My suggestions would be just a reiteration of what others have said: grease the pan AND the wax paper, spread a thick layer of powdered sugar on both sides of the cake prior to rolling, and use only about 2/3 of the frosting.”

“This is the exact recipe I’ve been searching for!I lost my copy.It was published in the Better Homes & Gardens 1979 Food Processor Cookbook.I’m so happy to have found this!It’s easy, luscious, and disappears in no time!”

“Excellent recipe!This was my first attempt at a pumpkin log and it was so easy.The only thing that I would recommend is to sprinkle both sides generously with powdered sugar before rolling it up into a towel.My stuck to the towel a little, but covered the outside of the roll before serving with more powdered sugar.It was a hit at my party and I was able to make it 2 days in advance.”

“Man… I wish I would have looked more throughly through the recipes on here before submitting my recipe for Pumpkin Roll… Because this is EXACTLY the same thing.. 🙂 Killer Recipe..”

“My first attempt at a pumpkin roll!This was a great recipe.I also added some chopped pecans to my cream cheese icing.I otherwise followed the directions exactly and this was so easy to roll up…easier than I thought it would be.Two pumpkin rolls were requested for our Thanksgiving Dinner…it is a keeper for us!”

“Perfect recipe!”

“I made this for christmas it was wonderful. Thanks!!”

“i have made this for many years and thought every family did too. I recently move to Seattle and my new friends had never tasted anything so wonderful.”

“This recipe is fabulous! It is acutally the same one that I found in my grandmother’s recipes.It is a family favorite that I make all year long! Yum!”

“Very nice recipe.”

“Excellent! I tried this for Thanksgiving and the whole family loved it. It was very easy to make and not over the top sweet, just perfect.”

“Made this a while ago and forgot to raate!Loved it,will make again for xmas.Thanks,Linda.”

“This was my first attempt at a pumpkin roll and it came out great!! I also used a cookie sheet and the only change I would make is to not use all of the filling in it. The filling layer was thicker than the cake layer!! LOL!!I will be making this again!”

“Great recipe!I doubled the recipe and used cookie sheets to bake instead of jelly roll pans.They came out great.”

“Easy, fun to make, and a BIG hit at my candle party.This was my first roll dessert and I used a regular metal cookie sheet. It came out perfect and everyone loved it!Thanks”
