Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375˚F.

Line a 15x10 inch baking pan with waxed paper. Grease and flour the pan and the top of the paper.

In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until think. Gradually add ½ cup sugar and the pumpkin. Beat mixture until the sugar is almost dissolved.

In a smaller bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture.

In a smaller bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold into pumpkin mixture. Spread into pan.

Bake at 375˚F for 13 to 15 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched. Cool 5 minutes and turn cake onto a kitchen towel sprinkled with powder sugar. Gently peel off waxed paper. Roll up cake in in the towel starting with the shorter side. Cool completely before adding the filling.

FILLING:
In small bowl beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

Unroll cake and spread filling.

Roll up again and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
