Ingredients

  • *for the cake*
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • cups pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar {for sprinkling kitchen towel}
  • *for the filling*
  • ¼ cup melted white chocolate at room temp
  • ¼ cup {½ stick} unsalted butter at room temp
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • melted chocolate to drizzle on top

Instructions

  • First, make the cake. Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray a 15x10 jelly roll pan with nonstick spray, line with parchment or wax paper, and spray again. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the eggs and sugar until fluffy and thick. Beat in the pumpkin, then add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, and smooth with spatula.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes, until cake is fluffy and springs back when touched.
  • While cake is baking, sprinkle a clean cotton kitchen towel with the powdered sugar, and set aside.
  • When cake is done cooking, loosen it from the pan and immediately invert it onto the prepared kitchen towel. Remove the wax/parchment paper from the back, and quickly roll the cake up. Place on a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • To make the filling, beat together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Drizzle in the melted white chocolate (make sure it's not hot) until a smooth frosting forms.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the whipped cream until stiff peaks form. Stir about ⅓ of the whipped cream into the white chocolate frosting to lighten it, then gently fold the rest in as to not deflate the whipped cream.
  • Carefully unroll the cake from the towel, and spread the frosting. Top with the mini chocolate chips, then roll the cake back up and place on a serving platter.
  • To drizzle, melt some chocolate and pour it in a zip-top bag. Cut off the corner, and drizzle chocolate on top.
