This Sourdough Pumpkin Roll recipe is made with a brown butter cream cheese filling. It's an easy fall or sourdough Thanksgiving dessert that stores well and can be made ahead of time.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and line and grease a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.In a large mixing bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, sourdough discard, and vanilla together until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
140 g Pumpkin Puree, 200 g Granulated Sugar, 3 Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract, 100 g Sourdough Discard
In a small mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Then, dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula just until combined and no floury spots remain.
140 g All-purpose flour, ½ tsp Kosher Salt, 1 tsp Baking Soda, 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice, 1 tsp Cinnamon
Pour the sourdough pumpkin roll cake batter out onto the prepared pan and evenly spread the batter to edges.Bake for 11-14 minutes or until the center is springy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
While baking, generously dust a clean tea towel with powdered sugar.Wearing oven mitts, quickly flip the hot cake out onto the towel. Use the towel to help you roll up the warm cake into a tight log and let it cool completely on a wire rack, 1 to 2 hours.
As the cake cools, make the brown butter cream cheese filling.Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the butter becomes fragrant and the milk solids caramelize dark brown. Pour into a mixing bowl to cool to room temperature.When the butter is cooled, add the softened cream cheese and mix with a hand mixer or spatula. Then, add the powdered sugar to create a thick but spreadable cream cheese filling.
57 g Unsalted Butter, 226 g Cream Cheese, 120 g Powdered Sugar
Once the cake has completely cooled, gently unroll it from the towel (it will have a memory of the roll) and evenly spread the cream cheese filling over the top leaving a slight border.Roll the cake back into a tight log, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour so the filling can set or freeze.Dust with powdered sugar before slicing with a serrated knife and serve the sourdough pumpkin roll cool or at room temperature.
