My son-in-law loves pumpkin roll. It sells are our supermarket for $7.50 for a small roll. I wanted to make it for him for Thanksgiving, but don't have the time as I have a 98 year old mother living with me, who needs a lot of care. I searched the internet and came up with an easy pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting that tastes exactly like pumpkin roll (I think it is moister).

Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Cake:
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix with pudding
1/4 cup oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 - 13 inch cake pan with non-stick spray. Whisk together the pumpkin and spices and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and oil. Beat in the eggs, then fold in the pumpkin mixture. Stir in the vanilla.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in pre-heated oven for 40 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

To make cream cheese frosting:

1 stick butter, softened
1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Cream together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, mixing until smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Spread frosting over cooled cake. Cover and store in refrigerator.
