I can be a picky eater when it comes to cake, especially roll cake. It has to be light, yet moist and not overly sweet. So, this chocolate pumpkin cheesecake roll recipe is extra special and I can hardly contain my excitement for this one. A spongy, fluffy cake filled with cream cheese, chocolate chips, and pumpkin spice.

Aaaaaaand chocolate ganache.

Like, CHOCOLATE TIMES 2. Who can say no to that! So, why do you need to make this chocolate pumpkin cheesecake roll?

  • It’s delicious! No doubt about it
  • Fun to make. Allrite, I might sound too vague; however, homemade baked goods are the best. Am I right?
  • Perfect for sharing or make this as your gift this year
  • Perfect for a potluck or small gathering

I’m pretty sure you’re all familiar with all these ingredients and they are widely available in many grocery stores. And I hope this will motivate you to make this chocolate pumpkin cheesecake roll.

However, making a roll cake like this can be intimidating for some. So, here are some tricks to help you master the art of roll cake.

  • Roll it when it’s warm. You do not want to wait until the cake is cold to roll out, so prepare a clean dishtowel and be ready to roll the cake once it’s out of the oven.
  • Spread the filling evenly
  • Let it chill. I know you might be too excited to taste this cake; however, let it chill before adding the final touch.

Other recipes to try

  • Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes – These Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes were made using OXO products and frosted with more pumpkin creamy frosting. A perfect fall flavor combo!
  • Pumpkin Wonton with Chocolate Dipping Sauce – Elevate your wonton game this fall and make them extra fun with a combination of pumpkin and chocolate
  • Pumpkin Chiffon Pie – Impossibly light and fluffy, the filling is made by folding meringue into a pumpkin curd-esque mixture for a slice that truly is light as a feather. With this at your Thanksgiving table, we doubt anyone would miss the classic.

Roll cake:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Chocolate chip cream cheese filling:

  • 1 (8-ounces) cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  • Roll cake: preheat the oven to 350F and line a 15×10-inch cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  • Spread the cream cheese filling into the center of the cake.
  • Re-roll the cake while peeling away the parchment paper. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and place into the fridge overnight.
  • Chocolate ganache: using a small pot, bring heavy cream to a simmer.
  • Pour 1 cup chocolate chips into a medium bowl, Pour the hot heavy cream over chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth and combined.

    You had me at “light, moist and not overly sweet”. That is exactly how I love my roll cakes too! Love the use of pumpkin puree which is something I have never done before (I don’t live in the US!) but I do love pumpkin. Giving this a go on the weekend!
