Pumpkin Roll (gluten-free)

For those of you who love pumpkin desserts, this gluten-free Pumpkin Roll is for you! A delicious, moist pumpkin spiced cake rolled up into a log and filled with a creamy caramel cream cheese filling. Look how pretty it is, too!

Pumpkin roll loaf.

This pumpkin roll definitely satisfies the sweet tooth without it being overly sweet. The caramel cream cheese filling is the perfect addition to the pumpkin spiced cake.

Close up of the pumpkin roll

I added some chopped pecans to the top of the cake batter before I baked it, but you can choose to omit this step if you don’t want the nuts in it. I just like the little bit of crunch and texture it adds to the dessert.

This pumpkin roll can be made for less fancy occasions, say, for those weekends you just want to bake for your family.

It can also be an impressive dessert to serve for the holidays. I think anywhere from Halloween to Christmas this dessert would be appropriate.

2 plates of sliced pumpkin rolls

Making the Pumpkin Roll

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl add in the following ingredients: brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and pumpkin puree. Blend well with stand mixer or hand mixer.

In the same bowl, add in the pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and gluten-free flour. Blend everything thoroughly.

Line a 10 x 15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Also, grease the parchment paper before adding the cake batter in pan.

Add cake batter to pan and bake for about 12 to 14 minutes.

After the cake is done baking let it cool on the counter for a few minutes. Carefully remove cake with parchment paper out of the pan and roll up into a log. *Keep parchment paper on cake as you roll it into a log.

Chill the cake in the fridge while you make the filling.

Making the Caramel Cream Cheese Filling

In a bowl, add the cream cheese, vanilla extract, softened butter, and caramel sauce; blend well.

Next, add in the powdered sugar and continue to blend until mixture is smooth and creamy.

Take cake out of the fridge and carefully unroll it so it is flat again. Remove parchment paper.

Spread the caramel cream cheese filling all over the cake and roll the cake back up into a log form.

Note: I used the entire filling for my cake and I want to mention that it was pretty stuffed. You may use the entire filling or use only what you desire.

Chill the pumpkin roll in fridge for at least an hour before serving or overnight.

Happy Eating!

    How long does this pumpkin roll keep in the fridge? Can I make it 2 days early and it still be ok?

      Hey, Lauren.

      It should keep for 3-4 days in the fridge. Preferably in an airtight container. I’m sure you could and it would be fine. I would suggest, however, making it the day before just so it’s the most fresh! 👍🏼

    Hello, I’m wanting to make this pumpkin roll for my daughter.
    I don’t see a recipe for the Carmel sauce, or do I buy carmel sauce? Was also wondering if it had to have carmel sauce put in it? Thanks, Sheila

      Hey Sheila,
      Thanks for reaching out to us! We just used a good quality caramel sauce from the store (helps to save time) and it was delicious! You can always feel free to make your own, but it looks like maybe you want to forgo the caramel sauce altogether. You can totally omit the sauce and juts make the cream cheese filling as directed. If you find that the cream cheese filling needs a little moisture, try adding a TBSP. of milk to make it more creamier. Please let me know if you have other questions or how it turned out if you decide to make it 😁👍🏼

    Does the recipe have to be refrigerated after the first hour of chilling when not being eaten?

      Hi Haley

      Not necessarily, just enough time in the refrigerator has it takes you to make the cream cheese filling.
