Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and place oven rack in the center of the oven.
-
Spray a 15×10-inch baking pan with non-stick spray, line it with parchment paper, then spray a little more non-stick spray and lightly flour the parchment paper.
-
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, allspice, and salt into a large bowl.
-
Beat the eggs and sugar together in an electric mixer or hand mixer. Beat on high speed for five minutes, or until thick, pale yellow, and fluffy.
-
Beat in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
-
Using a spatula, gently fold in the sifted flour mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, evenly spreading the cake batter with a spatula or knife.
-
Bake about 13 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake, when lightly pressed, springs back.
-
Sprinkle a clean dish towel with confectioners’ sugar.
-
Immediately upon removing the cake from the oven invert the pumpkin roll onto the clean dish towel.
-
Carefully remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and sprinkle lightly with confectioners sugar; roll the pumpkin roll up with the towel, while it is still hot and pliable. Place on a wire rack to cool.
-
Beat the cream cheese, yogurt, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat until smooth; fold in the walnuts.
-
Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
-
Unroll the pumpkin roll, spread with the filling, and re-roll.
-
Transfer to your serving platter; cover and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
-
Just before serving, lightly dust with powdered sugar.
