🍰 Pumpkin Spice Latte Roll Cake

Soft, spiced pumpkin cake + espresso cream cheese filling = your new favorite fall dessert.

📝 Ingredients:

🎃 Pumpkin Cake:

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ½ tsp ginger
• ¼ tsp cloves (or 1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice total)
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ⅔ cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

☕ Espresso Cream Cheese Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp instant espresso powder (or 2 tsp strong coffee for milder flavor)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
• Lay out a clean kitchen towel and dust it with powdered sugar — this will help with rolling later!

2. Make the Cake

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugars together until thick and pale.
• Add pumpkin puree and vanilla; mix well.
• Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
• Spread the batter evenly into the pan.
• Bake for 13–15 minutes or until springy to the touch.

3. Roll While Warm

• As soon as the cake comes out, invert it onto your powdered-sugar towel.
• Peel off the parchment paper.
• Starting at the short end, gently roll the cake up in the towel (yes, while it’s warm!).
• Let it cool completely in the rolled-up shape — this prevents cracking later.

4. Make the Filling

• Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
• Add powdered sugar, espresso powder, vanilla, and salt.
• Beat until fluffy and creamy. ☁️
  (Taste it… yes. That’s the fall latte energy right there.)

5. Assemble the Roll

• Once the cake is cool, carefully unroll it.
• Spread the espresso filling evenly over the surface.
• Gently roll it back up — this time without the towel.
• Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 min to 1 hour (makes slicing easier!).

✨ To Serve:

• Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon.
• Slice and enjoy with a hot latte or mulled cider.
• Watch people’s faces melt with joy. 🧡

🎉 Bonus Mood:

This dessert tastes like:

• A crisp fall morning
• A hug in food form
