We’ve had this for breakfast Christmas morning ever since I was a kid, and it’s a tradition I’ve carried on since I’ve had my own family.

Pumpkin Cake Roll

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup pumpkin
1 tsp. lemon
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt

1 cup chopped walnuts/pecans

Topping: 1 cup powdered sugar
6 oz cream cheese
4 Tbsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla

Beat eggs for 5 minutes. Gradually add sugar. Stir in pumpkin and lemon. Fold in dry ingredients. Spread on greased and floured 15×10x1 pan (large cookie sheet with edges.) Sprinkle nuts on top. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Turn out on a dishtowel that has been sprinkled with powdered sugar. Starting at narrow end, roll cake and towel up into a tube shape. Cool completely. Combine the topping ingredients and beat until smooth. Unroll the cake, spread the topping on, and roll it back up. I usually make this Christmas Eve, and we eat it the next morning. Hope you love it as much as I do!!
