4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Make the Pumpkin Roll:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and light. Add in the pumpkin puree and vanilla, then fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 13-15 minutes.
Immediately after baking, carefully roll the cake up with the parchment paper and let it cool completely.
Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth, then add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Pour the cheesecake batter into a 9-inch round springform pan, and bake for 35-40 minutes, until set. Let the cheesecake cool completely.
Assemble the Cake:
Unroll the cooled pumpkin roll and spread it with half of the cream cheese frosting. Place the cooled cheesecake layer on top of the frosted pumpkin roll.
Carefully roll the pumpkin roll back up around the cheesecake layer. Spread the remaining cream cheese frosting over the outside of the roll.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
This dessert combines the spicy warmth of pumpkin with the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake, making it perfect for special occasions, especially during the fall season
