Pumpkin Cream Roll

original recipe: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-cream-roll-10000001875471/

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 large eggs, separated
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
• 2/3 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
• 1 1/2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 15-by-10-inch jelly-roll pan. Line pan with parchment paper and grease paper.

Make cake: Whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger and 1/4 tsp. salt.

With electric mixer on high, beat egg yolks, granulated sugar and brown sugar until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. On low, mix in pumpkin and then dry ingredients.

With a clean bowl and beaters, beat egg whites and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt until stiff but not dry. Fold into batter in 3 additions. Scrape into pan; spread evenly. Bake until springy to touch, about 15 minutes.

Dust a clean kitchen towel with confectioners' sugar. Loosen cake from pan; turn out onto towel and peel off parchment. Roll cake lengthwise in towel; turn seam to bottom and let cake cool.

Make filling: Beat all 5 ingredients on high until smooth, about 3 minutes. Unroll cake, spread filling evenly and reroll. Trim ends diagonally and dust with confectioners' sugar.
