Ingredients

For the sponge

  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup self-raising flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbs ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbs pumpkin pie spice

For the cream cheese filling

  • 1 cup soft cream cheese
  • ½ cup soft unsalted butter butter (100 g)
  • ½ cup icing sugar (confectioner's sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  • To make the sponge, sift the flour, add the pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and bicarb of soda.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until fluffy and pale yellow.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, and mix to combine.
  • Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, mixing well to get a uniform batter.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
  • Line a baking tray (35cm x 24.5cm, or 13.7 x 10 inches) with non-stick baking paper, then spread the batter evenly and bake for about 10-12 minutes until the top springs back to touch and a tooth pick inserted in the middle of the sponge comes out clean.
  • Carefully roll the sponge, keeping the baking paper on, then leave the sponge to cool completely.
  • To make the cream cheese filling, beat the butter with the sugar, then add the cream cheese, vanilla extract and maple syrup and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Once the sponge has cooled down, carefully remove the baking paper, unroll it, then spread the cream cheese filling, and roll again.
  • Cover the roll with clingfilm and refrigerate for about one hour before slicing. Serve cold.
