Instructions
For Cake:
Preheat oven to 375' F. Grease 15x10" jelly roll pan. ( I used a small cookie sheet);
line pan with wax paper. Grease and flour paper.
Sprinkle a thin, cotton kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a small bowl.
Beat eggs and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until thick.
Beat in pumpkin.
Stir in flour mixture.
Spread evenly into prepared pan. (sprinkle with nuts).** I did not put in nuts, because I think this cake should be smooth; it is a preference thing.**
Bake for 13-15 minutes ( found this was done after 12 minutes) or until top of cake springs back when touched.
Immediately loosen and turn cake onto prepared towel.
Carefully peel off paper.
Roll up cake and towel together starting with the narrow end.
Cool on wire rack.
For Filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter and vanilla extract in small mixer bowl until smooth.
Carefully unroll cake; remove towel.
Spread cream cheese mixture over cake.
Reroll cake.
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
