Discover The Superbly Delicious Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll Cake

Thanksgiving usually means lots of food. The usual roasted turkey and of course an array of delicious desserts. For my Thanksgiving I usually make this really great tasting pumpkin roll cake that has a very delish filling of cream cheese. This pumpkin roll cake actually takes a bit of time in its preparation but it will really be all worth it. For sure, after you serve this up to friends and family that you'll receive compliments all the time and if you've still got some left over cake left, you can always keep them inside airtight containers and enjoy them later. So here is the recipe and I hope that you'll like it.

Spread pumpkin spice batter on your baking pan evenly.  Sprinkle nuts (optional). Bake 10 to 15 minutes, test by pressing finger into cake to check for firm, but moist, texture. Sprinkle powdered sugar onto a thin cotton kitchen towel (helps prevent cake from sticking to the towel).  Remove cake from oven and turn onto the powdered towel, leaving the wax paper attached to your cake. Slowly peel off the wax paper and roll up cake and towel together and allow cooling on a rack. Prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter & vanilla together.  Mixture should be smooth.

What makes pumpkin pie spice?

I am at my mom's house making a Pumpkin Pecan Pie and she doesn't have any Pumpkin Pie spice. I was wondering what it consists of to see if I can create it. Thanks.
