Notes**
In this recipe, the directions call for you to grease the pan before you place the parchment paper into the baking pan, and then to grease and flour the parchment paper. Don’t omit either of these steps. This helps to keep the cake from sticking to the parchment. As long as you follow along, the parchment will easily peel off of the cake after it is baked.
When you are purchasing your ingredients take care to make sure that you get pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree is strictly pumpkin and has no sugar or spices added and it has a thick consistency. Pumpkin pie filling has spices and sugar added and is a ready-to-bake product used in making pumpkin pie or tarts.
Using fresh pumpkin
If you would like to use a fresh pumpkin that is great also. Use a pie pumpkin to remove the seeds and peel it. We find that steaming is the best way to prepare the pumpkin for use in recipes. Once it is soft you can either use a mixer, food processor, or blender to get the pumpkin puree to a nice thick consistency.
The towel
When you are choosing a tea towel to use, choose one that is linen or a fabric that has a smooth texture. Do not use a waffle weave or a terry cloth towel. Make sure that it is clean.
Dusting the powdered sugar
When dusting powdered sugar on the towel, or on your finished roll, a mini sieve (strainer) works well for spreading the sugar. Just put some powdered sugar into the sieve and lightly tap it over the towel moving around the top fully cover. The powdered sugar will help keep the towel from sticking to the cake., when you peel it off. Using the mini sieve method also prevents any lumps from getting onto your roll.
The sieve method ensures nice consistent coverage over the surface of your roll. Some people prefer to use parchment for the rolling but I find the soft towel is easier to use, even though it’s a messy towel when you’re done. If you don’t think you have a suitable towel, give the parchment paper a try.
