- Pumpkin Log
4 eggs
1 cup pure pumpkin
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup self-rising flour
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans, optional
24 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick (8 Tablespoons) butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 375°.
Line a 12 x 17” baking pan (like a jelly roll pan) with parchment paper, then spray the paper with a nonstick spray. Set aside.
Mix together the eggs, pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, and self-rising flour. Spread evenly on the parchment paper lined baking pan. Sprinkle the top of the cake with pecan pieces, if you are using them. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, just until the cake is done and springs back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven.
Immediately sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar, making sure it’s completely covered. Cover the cake with a clean tea towel. Flip the cake upside down onto the towel. Remove the pan and the parchment paper. Starting at a short end, gently roll up the cake (with the tea towel) in a jelly roll fashion. Allow the cake to cool on your counter for 30 minutes, then place in the refrigerator for one hours.
For the filling, using an electric mixer, beat together the room temperature cream cheese, room temperature butter, vanilla, and 3 cups powdered sugar. The filling should be of spreading consistency. If it is thinner than a typical frosting, add another 1/4 cup of powdered sugar at a time until it is a spreading consistency. Unroll the cake, spread with the cream cheese filling, and reroll the cake with cream cheese filling inside (of course you will not reroll the tea towel this time. Leave it out). Place the log back in the refrigerator for the filling to firm up. When ready to serve, remove a thin slice off each end for a prettier presentation. Dust with more powdered sugar. 
Oh gee, I just showed my sister your picture and ask her if she recognized you she told me who you was and I was so shocked. I knew your dad real well, so great that I found your channel.
We are happy to have you with us. Thank you very much for watching our channel. We sure miss Tom's dad. He was a fabulous cook, like Tom! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
😮 Oh Tom and Melissa That LOOKS 👀 Delicious ❤ I've made Pumpkin Rolls before and they are absolutely delicious 😋 and Tom you put more cream cheese in your I might try more In mine the next Time 😁 You Guy's have a Blessed Thanksgiving ❤I Love Your videos I want to come sit at Your table😂😂❤❤ God Bless You Both 🤗❤️
@@comesitatmytable9044❤❤
I have made over a hundred of these over the years for benefits and family get together. I stopped using a towel years ago. I roll mine up in the parchment I baked it on. I have never had one to stick. So easy
I trust your advice since you've made so many of these. Thanks for passing along your wisdom. We do appreciate it and that you are watching our channel.
Delicious looking pumpkin log!!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
Omg I am 70 years young and I never made one because like you I thought there is no way I am going to try and make one for this Thanksgiving thank you so much for showing how easy it is God bless you and your family Happy Thanksgiving like my momma use to say never to old to learn things
Your momma was right - we are never to old to learn something new! I'm so glad you're going to make this and WOW your entire family with your talent in the kitchen. They are going to love it! Happy Thanksgiving!
27:29 That's a nice change from the normal Christmas log! I love pumpkin. I'm going to have to get a jelly roll pan to make that. 😊😊
Love this video(thanks Melissa) and love jelly rolls!
I've always wanted to try to make a pumpkin roll. I think I can do it!
Oh man, what a beauty. I know that this is going to taste as good as it looks, thank you.
I make several rolls at Thanksgiving I roll the long side it makes nice size for plates. Tastes just as good broken 😊
Your cake came out Beautiful. I'm nervous about making one of these but I like them and they are so pretty too. I going to try one this week. No one will ever know if I mess it up, but boy howdy if it comes out right I will be showing it all over the neighborhood . Thank you so much for teaching me a new lesson. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family too..
I love how Tom is so encouraging of the viewers to try the recipe. I would have thought it was too complicated but it not that hard. I’m a pretty confident cook but trying this kind of dessert has intimidated me. Our thanksgiving is long past but I’m invited to Christmas Eve dinner and I think this will be my contribution (bring a fabulous dessert is what I was told). Thank you for this. Perfect timing. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
If rolling the log is intimidating then cut the cake into three rectangular shapes. Frost in between and stack them!
Thank You, Tom, I Love Pumpkin Rolls!
When I was a very young bride I made a Christmas log. It turned out great.
YUMMY! Happy Thanksgiving, Tom and Melissa 🍁🍂🌽🦃🌽🍂🍁
This Pumpkin Log recipe looks so delicious 😋Mr. Tom.
Love jelly rolls. So easy to do and you make different flavors and fillings. This one looks yummy..
This was Mom's special Thanksgiving dessert, and this year was the first year without it. Mom is still around, but she now lives in an assisted living center, and she is not up to doing this type of stuff any longer. It was definitely missed. Somehow, just watching your video made me feel better about everything. Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to both of you!
I recently found your you tube channel....Love the videos...real food...and the presentation is so organized and easy to follow. Wishing you and your family a beautiful Thanksgiving from Kentucky.
Now, you know you can “take up the baton” and keep your family tradition going! Do it this year! Your mom will be so proud of you❣️ God bless and Happy Thanksgiving!🦃🍂🍁
@@paulapool5721this is some great advice for her . I agree what a sweet idea
This first time I made this it was with my daughter. It was wonderful. She is an excellent cook. When I make it now I use a cotton bar towel. I get them at Walmart in a 10 pack. I wash them twice. In making the cake I sprinkle lots of powdered sugar all over the bar towel. It’s works perfectly. Such a yummy cake! Thanks Tom and Melissa ❤
You are so welcome. And we are always happy to have wonderful cooks share the products they like as well. We really appreciate that you are watching, and we hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
One of my holiday traditions at Thanksgiving, it is a must and is wiped out at dessert time, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 2023
Thank you for sharing! My mom makes these and I love them, but have been intimidated to try to make one. You make it look so easy that now I have to try! I’ve seen others sprinkle their towel with powdered sugar instead of the cake. Hearing how your first effort went helps to understand why. 😂😂 Too funny! Sounds like one of my tricks.
I have always been afraid to make this. But, thank you for convincing me that I can do it!
Thank you for sharing this and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and your TH-cam family and God bless 🙏 everyone 🦃🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
Happy Thanksgiving Tom and Melissa! 🦃🥧
Oh wow! Looks so delicious. I'm going to make a pecan pie, two pumpkin pies and my grandmother's old fashioned cheesecake. Thanks for this video. I may try it for Christmas. Oh, btw your 5 cup salad too! 😋😋😋
We are so happy to hear that our recipes might be a part of your special holiday celebrations. Thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Looking very forward to making this. First time and nervous, but I trust you . If you say I can, I am willing to try.🙏❤️🙏
Happy Thanksgiving Tom, Melissa & family 🦃🧡 God bless you all!
God bless you for sharing this wonderful cake with me. It's my very favorite. I am going to make myself one and hopefully never have to buy another one at the store. Happy Thanksgiving to all ❤
You can do it! And you know your homemade one will be so much better than what they have in store packages! Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks so much Tom and Melissa for all the great recipes and how to create those recipes. You both have a blessed Thanksgiving Day with families and friends too. Fred.
Thank you, Fred. It's nice having you watching our channel. Happy Thanksgiving.
Go on line and find a page to troubleshoot your mixer, and there should be a place that tells you where the screw is to adjust the Moyer so it doesn’t jump on you
I've made this many years ago, it's so delicious.
Looks delicious. Happy Thanksgiving to both of you.
I think I will like this recipe can't wait to try it thanks
Looks amazing, you did a great job!
Tom to avoid dust clouds with your mixer. Add all of your dry ingredients together in a bowl. Place all of your wet ingredients into the mixer bowl and start on low.
Then add the dry ingredients in small batches!
That looks so good! I got to try this one for sure. Thank you so much for sharing!!😋
I do have a hand mixer , I really enjoy Your Chanel and I think that you and Mellisa are great❣️. I can only spend a short time in the kitchen, I am 84 years young & I have made a few of your more simple recipes that turned out delicious 😎 Thank You for entertaining a GG. Grandma, bless both of You and take Care❣️🇨🇦
My mom has made this since I was a little girl. She is now 89 years old and still makes it for us at thanksgiving. Her mom made it, so it’s now a third generation recipe for us. I’m sure it goes farther back. My mom only cans cow pumpkin (it’s the pale pink ones) and that’s all she will use in her pumpkin rolls (a little set in her ways, wouldn’t you say lol). Thanks so much for making this. I just love watching y’all because you make stuff we would make.
I learned from my mom how to make any kind of cake roll. She taught me to lay down a flour sack tea towel, cover that with powdered sugar. Bake your cake, invert onto the powdered towel. Then trim the edges of your cake before you roll it up. Then carry on with the filling. Just saying. My mom was from southern Arkansas.
That method works, too. Tom just prefers to cover the cake itself with the powdered sugar and then the towel and then invert it. I think he does a better job of getting less of a cloud of powdered sugar this way. But either way works. Thanks so much for watching our channel. Happy Thanksgiving.
This was one of Mother's standards for holidays. My sister does that now sometimes. You're making my mouth water. 😋 You know, you always say "my table" and I always wish you would say "our table". You did it today. I hope that is your new normal. Happy Thanksgiving! We truly have thanksgiving everyday, but it is always good to gather and thank Him on a special day. ☺
Sweetest couple ever! I don’t think there is one recipe that you have made that I wouldn’t LOVE to eat! 🥰
We appreciate your kind words and we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I HAVE MADE THESE.I PUT THE PECANS IN MY CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE; I ALSO SPREAD THE CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE OVER THE WHOLE LOG.😊❤
I love to bake & have baked for many years. I have always wanted to make a yule log but was too intimidated. Thank you so much for this step by step instructions.. now I'm not so intimated & definitely make this delicious looking pumpkin log. I know there is a learning curve but if I can set aside my perfectionist tendencies all will be well. Thank you & have a very happy Thanksgiving
You can do it! Trim off the end pieces when it's all finished so you'll have a pretty looking log (and you can enjoy those end pieces before hand!). Happy Thanksgiving!
It looks delicious!I wish you guys a happy Thanksgiving .I really enjoy your Videos .Thank you !
Hi Melissa and Tom. So sorry I got your name wrong Tom in the previous episode. This is another yummy dish to make for our Christmas dessert. Even though it's hot weather (summer) here in NZ, we still have a hot dressed leg of ham. Roast chicken, roast vegetables, salads, and dishes family bring to the table. I prepare most of it the day before. I get out my Christmas crockery and flatware. Christmas cake was made two weeks ago. In a couple of weeks I will make sweet mince pies. I also make the traditional English boiled plum pudding. And that is as close to thanks giving we get. I guess you guys won't know what some of our stuff is. We always have a bunch of people who would be alone. The next day we eat left overs. Thanks for another yummy dessert 😊😊❤❤
You are welcome for the dessert. We hope you get to make it sometime soon. We loved reading your comments about your meal that is similar to our Thanksgiving meal. Thank you so much for watching and sharing with us in return.
Happy Thanksgiving Tom and Melissa!
Been making this for years. Your way of flipping the cake is a lot smarter!
Lesson learned the hard way what can we say? 😊 But we are happy to share whatever we know with others. That's a mess that's no fun to clean up afterwards! Happy Thanksgiving.
@@comesitatmytable9044 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Thank you for this recipe. My Grandma made these for Thanksgiving. We haven't had any for years, so I'm going to surprise the family. 🙏🤞score after cake comes out of the oven and you've flipped it onto the T towel. Start at one short end and move to other end scoring lightly about 1/2" apart. Then roll up to cool. Do Not Cut to deeply. You don't want to go all the way through. Use a bread & butter knife or the tip of a pairing knife.
That sounds like a great surprise! We hope you all love them and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Looks delicious. Recently discovered your channel and enjoy it so much. Happy Thanksgiving to you both!
I am not a cook but I enjoy your shows! I have even made a couple of your soup recipes. My family is shocked, lol. But the way you explain things make cooking look easy so I have tried my hand and I have been successful! Thank you so much for posting these videos. You inspire me!!
Happy Thanksgiving Tom and Melissa!! 🦃🧡 I'm so blessed to find your wonderful channel!! ☺
Those cracks add character!
This looks wonderful. I'm allergic to pumpkin, but I always substitute sweet potatoes in recipes calling for pumpkin. I'll do the same with this. I know it will be wonderful. Great job, Tom! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and God bless you all!
This could be switched to Apple Sauce or even Zucchini
What a great idea!!
Tom and Melissa that Pumpkin Roll looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! 😊
It is such a JOY to watch your channel! Your interaction together is very heartwarming and so special! Thank you 🙏
Melissa, you are so cute and adorable! I love all your little gatherings you have with the ladies!
Happy Thanksgiving, Tom and Melissa!! 🦃
One of the best recent books I've read and highly recommend. Makes you laugh and cry. Blown For Good by Marc Headley.
I can't believe I have not been doing this right all these years! I always powdered the towel, turned out the cake ontovthe powdered towel, THEN powdered the top of the cake and rolled it up into the towel. And have never used that much cream cheese. Now I can't wait to try this the right way❣️❣️
We hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I made a cake roll for Christmas. I live in Minnesota. I cooled the cake roll off on the hood of my car. GENIUS
That's funny! I can picture that in my mind very clearly! Thanks so much for watching our channel and have a great holiday season.
I’ve made the jelly rolls before but not the pumpkin. I may try to make this but not for Thanksgiving.. It still looks pretty difficult to me but looks so delicious. It’s such a pretty dessert too. You did great and made it look easier. I’m like what’s the worst that could happen??? It breaks apart and I have to eat it all by myself 😂
Thank you and Melissa. Have a great Thanksgiving.. ❤🙏🏻
I LOVE your attitude and spirit! We would definitely be friends! If you've made other jelly rolls before I'm thinking this will be no problem for you! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week.
You can use a dish towel wrapped around the bowl to keep the flour from flying everywhere. I haven't ever had any of this but it sure looks good.
We hope you will try one soon! Thanks so much for watching our channel and have a great Thanksgiving.
Yum I’m going to follow your lead and try this. I tried once before and it was a big fail. So I’m excited to try again!
I’m new to your channel and am enjoying your video. You and your wife are a great team.
I make these every year, at least 6.. I love to gift them to my neighbors. I have tea towels specifically my for pumpkin rolls. They are always a family favorite. Today is my baking day.
Since you posted this a few hours ago, I'm guessing you are now super tired but very satisfied! What wonderful gifts for your very lucky neighbors! Wishing you a very blessed holiday season!
I love these and now I can try making one myself! Thanks, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
You are so welcome. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Tom And Melissa. Thank you friend for sharing this recipe with everyone.👍🙏
Looks great, makes me hungry.
I really enjoy your channel on TH-cam. I have never reached out to anyone previously. When I watched your program on pumpkin roll, I felt I could add to your procedure. I have made many pumpkin rolls and like your family, have to make several for others. I have never been shown and went by a recipe. One thing I do, which is different, is the top of the cake is rolled inside of roll. When I remove parchment from pan, I slide parchment off pan onto tea towel. I do not flip it. I actually roll up with parchment, still attached and remove once cool. Rolling the topside to inside of roll helps cake from breaking; gives a better look to outside; and if you use nuts, the outside is still smooth as nuts are to inside. Also, powered sugar is to inside, when rolled up. Of course it can always be added to top, once rolled up.
I don’t know if my procedure is a happy mistake, but has always worked for me. You may want to try.
Happy cooking.
I make this every yr and I make like 4 for my friends. They all Love it!!!!
Love this.
I'm so thankful for this pumpkin roll video (and Melissa's written recipe). I've always had to buy them, and now I won't. Bless y'all!!!
I had to laugh when I gave my friend this recipe and she didn’t read all the instructions. So she mixed it to make all 5 pumpkin rolls. Needless to say she actually pitched it because she didn’t know how to divide it.
I'd love to be adopted by you folks. If this is any idea of what heavens like I'm in...😊
Love your scraper!
Can't wait to make this! Love Pumpkin rolls!
Hello...my absolute favorite. Great video! 🦃😊
Love your videos!!! This one especially! Why, you ask? Well I must tell you that was very pleased to hear you say, You are always welco.e to come sit at "OUR" table. After all, your table belongs to both of you!!!! Keep em coming!
We are sure trying! And we are so happy to have you joining us! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Good idea putting the p. sugar on top of the cake!! Can it just sit rolled up in the towel on the counter without putting in the fridge? I'll bet the cracking wouldn't be as much.
Why didn't I think of sprinkling the powdered sugar onto the cake instead of the tea towel! Thank you! I have been making pumpkin logs each Thanksgiving and Christmas for over 15 years. I will be doing this method from now on! Happy Thanksgiving to you both!
You are so welcome! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
That looks delicious
I love pumpkin log
We need a shirt. “That is so good!”
Trying this tomorrow! Thank you
Love love love love love love love the pumpkin roll recipe and I love watching you cook it! Happy Thanksgiving!🇱🇷🇱🇷
Yum! Love your KY blue mixer!
We love that color! Thanks so much for watching our channel. Have a great Thanksgiving.
It was so cute when you said, “and while it’s baking, you can’t go sit down and watch tv.” ❤
Not much turnaround time on this one! Don't want to forget it and have it burn when you're so close to having a wonderful cake made!
Happy Thanksgiving! Have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends.
My son loves it thanks Tom
yummy
I made y’all’s Taco Soup and it was big hit with me and my husband! Thanks
Love watching y'all. You can add pecans to cream cheese filling.
Yes, that's a great variation as well. We appreciate that you are watching and making helpful comments, too. Happy Thanksgiving.
Oh wow! We love these things and wondered for years just how to make them. I don’t know now if I still have the nerve to try and make one but it was just wonderful hearing how to do it and laughing at the story of your first time with the powdered sugar fiasco! Wish we were neighbors so I could make something special just for you and knock on your door giving it to you, just as something special for your dinner to show you how much your friendship has meant as you have shared all your recipes and cooking. There’s a closeness that develops when sharing meals and dishes of food. It’s a bond that fills your soul, so much more than your stomach. Please accept my love and shared devotion for all that you do and all you are and all that you have come to mean to me. Take care of yourselves. You are a treasure. Happy Thanksgiving! ❤🎉
Oh my goodness I could cry reading your sweet words! Thanks you so much for your kindness. You never know how much that encouragement means to us. We'd love for you to move in next door! We'd be at each other's table all the time! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! And you should definitely try to make one - hopefully you'll not end up with a powdered sugar disaster!
Thank You For Sharing!
You are so welcome. We really appreciate that you are watching our channel. Have a wonderful and blessed holiday season.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too. I'm going to give this a try.
I love a Pumpkin Roll! That looks so delicious. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to you both. 🙂
Thank you very much for watching. We hope you can try our recipe soon. Have a great Thanksgiving.
Thank you both. Hope this week is filled with blessings and enjoy your time with family and friends. God bless
With your video & encouragement, I think I’m ready to try making this. I had a friend that would fix these and they are such a beautiful and delicious dessert. Thank you both. I hope you and your viewers enjoy a fabulous Thanksgiving.
I love your channel. You’re a really good cook. Please adopt me.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Yum❤ happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing you peace and joy
