Whats the secret for rolling it out without breaking it?!
I have used a kitchen tea towel before. Sprinkle the towel with powder sugar, lay the entire cake on the towel and then start rolling. Roll the towel in the roll as well. Let it cool entirely then unroll, remove towel add filling and reroll.
Just made two of these…they were delicious. I added powdered sugar to keep it from breaking when rolling and unrolling. It was perfect in every way.
Approximately how many servings?
Does this freeze well? We have many gatherings and not enough time to make them separately!
Yes, You are going to want to wrap it first with parchment paper or saran wrap then you can put it in a container or ziplock bag to store it.
Wonderful recipe! The pumpkin roll turned out spongy and just the right amount of sweetness. I added Pecans inside of mine for extra flavor and crunch! Also left my roll on the parchment paper I cooked it on and rolled it up in that and sat aside to cool. It worked out great!
Can you freeze pumpkin roll?
