Ingredients
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup pumpkin
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup featherlight flour
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped nuts
- Cream Cheese Frosting
4 tablespoons butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375º.
- In a large stand mixer beat eggs for about 5 minutes or until very thick. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, then stir in the pumpkin and lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, mix the remaining dry ingredients, then gently fold them into the egg mixture.
- Pour the batter into a well-greased and floured 15 x 10″ baking pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top and bake for 15 minutes..
- Prepare a clean dish towel by sprinkling it with powdered sugar.
- Once the cake is done, loosen the edges and immediately turn it out onto the dish towel. Roll the cake up with the towel, starting from the narrow end, and let it cool completely.
- While the cake cools, make the cream cheese frosting by mixing all ingredients until smooth.
- Once the cake is completely cool, unroll it, spread on the frosting, and roll it back up. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill before serving. Slice to serve.
