Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Roll
Description
This dessert combines pumpkin puree into a spiced, tender sponge cake that bakes quickly in a jelly roll pan. Mini chocolate chips sprinkled into the batter add bursts of sweetness throughout the cake. After baking, the cake is cooled briefly and rolled up with a sugared tea towel to set the shape, preventing cracks. The filling, made from creamed powdered sugar, cream cheese, and butter, is smooth and lightly sweetened. Once unrolled and filled, the cake is rerolled and chilled to firm up, making it easier to slice. Dusting the roll with powdered sugar and additional chocolate chips finishes the presentation. The result is a moist, soft cake with creamy filling and pockets of chocolate, suitable for serving sliced at gatherings or as a seasonal treat.
