How to celebrate Halloween week?!  A Pumpkin Roll!  Not just any pumpkin roll, but a wonderfully light cake with delicious cream cheese frosting rolled up inside.

The recipe starts with a pumpkin cake filled with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger that cooks up like a thin sponge cake.

After the cake bakes, you sprinkle powdered sugar onto a kitchen towel (note: a NEW kitchen towel, one reserved for touching food, not mopping the countertops!) and flip the cake onto the sugar.  Gently roll the short end of the cake and let it rest.

Next a generous layer of cream cheese frosting is added.  Now you know why this roll is so good!

Roll it back up and refrigerate for a few hours before slicing.
