I’ve been looking for a good pumpkin roll recipe! My bf doesn’t like nuts, but it looks like I can easily leave them off. Looking forward to trying this! 🙂

This looks so good. I think I will make it for my family on my next trip home. I had planned to make pumpkin cookies, but this looks better.

Wow, this looks great! My name is Katie and I host Fall Into the Holidays, open Saturdays. I would love to have you link up!
Sara says
I tried this recipe. It is so yummy! My dad and boyfriend loved it. However – the only problem I had was actually getting it to roll. The cake broke apart when I tried to roll it, so my “pumpkin roll” looked more like a layered cake. lol Any tips on how to keep it together? Maybe I overcooked it?
Ann says
Sara did you roll it while it was still warm or hot? If you allow it to cool it will crack. My grandmother made a roll that always looked exactly like a roll. I’m ok with rolling until the last layer which turns out flatter.
