MOIST PUMPKIN CAKE ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, then grease it.
• Separate egg yolks and whites into 2 separate mixing bowls. Stir flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
• Add pumpkin, vanilla, and lemon juice to the egg yolks; beat on high speed with an electric mixer until thick. Add 1/3 cup sugar and beat on high until dissolved.
• Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into the egg yolk mixture. Fold in flour just until combined. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly touched, 12 to 15 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, lay a kitchen towel on a nice, flat surface. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Remove the cake from the oven and loosen the edges from the pan with a toothpick. Flip the cake onto the towel and pull off the parchment paper. Starting at the short end, roll the cake up with the towel into a spiral. Let sit until mostly cool but still a little warm, about 20 minutes.
• While the cake is cooling, beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar; beat well, adding more sugar if necessary, until frosting is a good spreading consistency.
• Unroll the still warm cake in the towel. Spread the frosting over the cake, starting in the middle and working outwards to about 1 inch from the edges. Re-roll the cake without the towel and place on a serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
