Category: Cakes from Cake Mixes

3 eggs
3/4 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/4 box yellow cake mix (1 cup)
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
About 2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 package (8-oz size) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Preheat oven to 350. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil or waxed paper; grease or spray foil or waxed paper.

In medium bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on high speed about 2 minutes or until very thick and lemon colored. Beat in pumpkin until well mixed. Gradually beat in dry cake mix, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves on low speed; continue beating 1 minute. Pour into pan, spreading to corners. Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Immediately loosen cake from edges of pan and turn upside down onto towel generously sprinkled with powdered sugar. Carefully remove foil. While hot, carefully roll cake and towel from narrow end. Cool on cooling rack at least 30 minutes.

In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and brown sugar with electric mixer on high speed until smooth. Gradually add whipping cream; beat until stiff. Stir in 2 tbsp of the pecans. Unroll cake and remove towel. Spread two-thirds of the cream cheese mixture over cake; roll up. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture over outside of cake. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tbsp pecans. Store covered in refrigerator.
