Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Beat eggs at high speed for 4 minutes until thick and foamy. Mix in sugar. Add pumpkin, lemon juice, baking powder, spices, and salt; mix well. Slowly incorporate flour, scraping sides of bowl.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 11-15 minutes until it bounces back when pressed and a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Lay parchment paper on a surface. Flip cake onto it immediately after baking. Remove pan and peel off foil.
  5. Roll up the hot cake with parchment paper. Cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
  6. Prepare filling: beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Unroll cooled cake carefully. Spread cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.
  8. Re-roll the cake gently. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  9. Optional: slice into three smaller rolls for variety. Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month.
