  • “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!”
