Were you afraid to make a swiss roll cake before? If yes, don’t be. It is very simple cake to make. I also included step by step photos so you can see how I roll make cake. It is perfect Thanksgiving dessert or any time when you want to bake with pumpkin. I honestly use pumpkin a lot during the year and not only in the fall. Anyway, this pumpkin roll is made without cream cheese. I used whipped cream and mascarpone cheese for the filling. I also used lots of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamon to enhance pumpkin flavor.

Tips to make Swiss Roll

  • Use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Don’t over bake your cake 13 – 15 minutes is enough. You need your cake to be soft, not hard.
  • The towel is necessary to roll the cake easily. Once the cake is baked remove it from the oven. Then remove parchment paper. Place on the towel and roll together with the towel. Leave it for cooling.

    I love ridiculously easy recipes – I use them when I have no time to cook but need something quick and easy. And because this recipe uses mascarpone, I am definitely keeping it for later – looks delicious.
