Well, since the consensus from last post is that nobody is getting sick of pumpkin, then I'm not going to feel too bad about posting two very similar things in a row! I actually did make this because I had SO much cream cheese frosting left over from the cake, that I desperately needed something to do with it. I had never made a pumpkin roll before, and in all honesty, they totally intimidated me with all the steps. I was so worried that I was going to put in all the work and then end up with a total disaster on my hands (it's happened once, or twice before!)
But, really it ended up being a pretty easy, I think following the directions well and not getting impatient is the key. If I was as thoughtful as many of you out there, I would have pictures of the whole process for you, but my brain isn't quite that forward thinking yet, I'll get there! My cake did crack just a bit on the top, but after it was sliced, it wasn't even noticeable. Once again, the thing that makes this roll so dang good is that cream cheese frosting, it's the perfect compliment to the pumpkin!

3 eggs
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda

I love pumpkin roll. Never had one with nuts, but that sounds great!
I tried making a roll once, too. The whole thing cracked in half. It looked like a messy cake sandwich. lol. I'll have to give it a try once again.

Picture perfect! I've seen pumpkin rolls before, but I'm so intimidated to make one. Yours looks great.
Keep the pumpkin coming! I love pumpkin rolls...takes me back to being a kid and rolling them with my nana! Although I use her recipe, I may try this one to see how they compare! Well done!
Looks beautiful...cracks never bother me (ha! that sounds weird)
My sister always makes one every year, I miss it since we're not in the same area any more.
I have always wanted to make a pumpkin roll, but the whole concept of making a roll kinda scares me! ahh!! :)

it is very easy!! We love pumpkin roll here and I most always make them for the holidays!

Pumpkin Roll is one of our Christmas "main-stays" and a fantastic gift too! Yours looks wonderfully delicious and makes me hunger for that fantastic pumpkin, cream cheese combination! Great job.
Wow! This not only looks delicious but beautiful too.
This looks soooo good! I love pumpkin roll, but have never made it before. I'd love to have it for Thanksgiving this year.
Gorgeous photos! What a great looking pumpkin roll. I'm definitely nowhere close to being sick of pumpkin yet. In fact, I'm just getting starting on all of my pumpkin pigging out!
It sure is looking wonderful over here! :D I requested you as a friend on Foodbuzz!
GOSH! that looks BEAUTIFUL! I've tried making rolls before but it was an epic failure. Yours look so perfectly shaped and round and plump and...ahhh...I want a huge bite!
Cream cheese frosting is a miracle in and of itself. And with this roll, you get a taste of it in every bite!
I would be intimidated by all of the folding as well, but you really did a great job. It looks awesome.
This is gorgeous. I've always been very timid about trying this; i can just picture a big cake wreck happening.
Yum, I really want to eat this! Love the pumpkin/cream cheese combo!
It looks wonderful. I have always wanted to make one and haven't since they also intimidate me!! I think I will give it a try this time though!
Mmmmn! I think I might make this on Thanksgiving. Love the cream cheese frosting.
It turned out perfect! And it looks absolutely scrumptious!
Teresa...you are killing me....I love pumpkin and this cake is simply over the top.
