Pumpkin Cake Roll

We were expecting company today, I was to meet a relative for the first time . . So I wanted something delicious, but since I am a baker I wanted something other than what I bake at work :) Plus I have TONS of pumpkin this year. So I decided to try this recipe to test it . . . It was delicious, easy and so handy that it can be made ahead. I made a double batch and have one in the freezer for an emergency dessert :)

I also tweeked the recipe by sprinkling chopped nuts and dried cranberries over the filling before rolling it up. YUMMY!

Notes: You do not need to roll the cake up in a towel, as long as you do not over-bake it. Be sure to line the pan with baking paper. Enjoy :)
