Description
Tried and true and my daughter loves this recipe. Here are a few pointers i learned as i made it. Do not over bake the cake or it will crack when you unroll it. Also make sure you cream the cheese first so there are no lumps in the filling. Anw0792 requested a pumpkin roll recipe for diabetics and then 1steve found the link for it. I dug out my copy of the recipe to post, so others could use it and also adding my tips/changes. This recipe is originally by betty hale of arkansas; she won 3rd place with it in the "sweet as can be" recipe contest by equal.
