Using fall flavors in your baking
Baker Kassem Beydoun shows us how to make his cream cheese pumpkin roll.
KASS'S CREAM CHEESE PUMPKIN ROLL
Dry ingredients: (Mix these in one bowl)
-1/4 cup powdered sugar to sprinkle on towel (do not mix into dry)
-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (grounded)
-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
-¼ teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients: (Prep in separate bowl)
-3 large eggs
-1 cup granulated sugar
-2/3 cup pure pumpkin puree
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 375 degrees
-Combine all dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt) in a bowl and set aside.
-In another bowl beat eggs for a good 3-5 minutes until fluffy, then beat in granulated sugar. Mix in the pumpkin puree and then combine the dry with the wet. (Make sure you STIR the dry and wet ingredients together, so you do not loose the bubbles that make the cake easier to roll once baked).
-Transfer to pan lined with parchment and spread evenly.
-Bake for 13 minutes or until center springs back. Immediately loosen and turn onto prepared powdered sugar dusted towel. Carefully peel of parchment. Roll up cake and towel together forming a roll and cool on wire rack allowing it to cool into its form.
