This is an easy-to-make dessert and people really enjoy them. It is a nice treat to have to serve to guests or to take when you go visiting or to take to a small party!
 

• 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 cup flour

 
Mix all ingredients together. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut any overhanging paper. Spread the batter evenly on the pan and bake 15 minutes. Sprinkle a hand towel with powder sugar. Remove cake from the oven and flip onto the towel. Peel off the wax paper from the cake and then roll up in the towel and refrigerate. DO NOT BEND THE TOWEL!!
 
Cream:

• 1 8oz cream cheese
• 1 cup powder sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 Tbsp butter

 
Mix together. Take the cooled dough from the fridge and unroll it. Spread the cream on the dough and roll back, WITHOUT the towel. Then, wrap in plastic wrap tightly and put in the fridge to chill for about an hour (you can leave it there for longer if you need to). Cut in slices and serve.
