Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375. Grease and flour 15-x20-x2-in. jelly roll pan. Line pan with wax paper.
2. Beat eggs at high speed for 5 minutes. Gradually add sugar. Stir in pumpkin and lemon juice.

Let cake sit in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out on a clean tea towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Peel off wax paper. While cake is still warm, roll up in towel, lengthwise.
