Ack, Dun! You just took away the only excuse I had for not making this... although the sponge/chiffon cake part still scares me a little. Thanks for the recipe - I love pumpkin roll!

I have to rewrite my chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe & share that one! Or the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies... Ah I just love pumpkin. :

the most important part of the sponge is making sure the eggs and sugar are stiff before adding other ingredients. that's what keeps the cake spongy.

and be careful rolling it..........

i expect a full report on how it is tomorrow morning (your time if you can wait).

I make these around the holidays since they are easy and make nice small servings. I'm not one for baking so they are perfect for me. I'd rather cook the meal than the dessert!

I am not much of a cook. If it comes in a box or a can, chances are I can fix it. Otherwise... But if any of you all need a taste tester -- I"m your girl I think I might have gained some weight just reading these!

pumpkin roll is amazing. I've found that using dish towels instead of aluminum foil keeps them more moist

my mom and I make about 30 pumpkin rolls for the holidays, they are by far a family favorite
