Ingredients

• Cake:
• 6 T. melted butter
• 1-1/2 c. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin
• 1/4 c. water
• 2 c. flour
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. each cloves, ginger, nutmeg
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• Cream Cheese Filling: (May be doubled)
• 1 pkg. (8oz.) softened cream cheese
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 egg

Preparation

Step 1

Cake: Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Beat butter and sugar. Beat in 2 eggs and pumpkin, vanilla and water. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and spices and baking soda, baking powder and salt. Then add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin/butter mixture. Then spread 2/3 of this batter into the pan.

Filling: Mix the cream cheese filling ingredients till smooth. Then spread this over the batter evenly. Then dollop the remaining 1/3 batter over the cream cheese batter trying to spread out as evenly as possible. Use a knife to swirl together the cream cheese and top layer of the pumpkin batter.

Bake for 30-35 mins at 325 degrees or until the center of the batter springs back when touched. Cool first before cutting.

Note: These are a great alternative to the traditional pumpkin roll! Much, much easier!
