Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, extending the paper 1 inch over the sides.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin puree.
3
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
4
Pour the batter onto the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
5
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
6
While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it lightly with powdered sugar.
7
Remove the cake from the oven and immediately flip it onto the prepared kitchen towel. Gently peel off the parchment paper.
8
Starting from one of the short ends, carefully roll the cake and towel together. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
9
In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
10
Once the cake has cooled, unroll it gently and spread the cream cheese filling evenly on top, leaving a 1/4 inch border.
11
Roll the cake back up without the towel, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least an hour before serving.

Before serving, dust the Pumpkin Roll with extra powdered sugar.
