This recipe is from Libby's Pumpkin pack original recipe and it is so pretty and so delish! It took me a few mess-up's to get it right and now I can make them in no time. The first cake I dropped on the floor while transfering to the towel, the second cake I didnt grease and flower the wax paper and it completely stuck to the paper. So as long as you follow the steps, you won't mess-up like I did.

Directions
FOR CAKE:
PREHEAT oven to 375° F. Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan; line with wax paper and grease and flour paper. Sprinkle a thin, cotton kitchen towel with powdered sugar generously, for after the cake is done.
COMBINE flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt in 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.
BAKE for 13 to 15 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched. (If using a dark-colored pan, begin checking for doneness at 11 minutes.) Immediately loosen and turn cake onto prepared towel. Carefully peel off paper. Roll up cake and towel together, starting with narrow end. Cool on wire rack.
FOR FILLING:
BEAT cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, butter and vanilla extract in small mixer bowl until smooth. Carefully unroll cake. 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.
EnJOY!
