Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Grease and flour the parchment.
  2. Beat egg yolks with ½ cup sugar until pale. Beat in vanilla. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks, gradually adding remaining sugar until stiff and glossy.
  3. Gently fold egg yolk mixture into egg whites. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to egg mixture, alternating with pumpkin and oil, beginning and ending with dry. Mix until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into pan and spread evenly. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Immediately sprinkle warm cake with powdered sugar. Using parchment overhang, lift cake out and place on a powdered sugar dusted kitchen towel.
  7. Roll cake and towel together tightly. Let cool completely. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then vanilla and salt.
  8. Unroll cake, spread frosting evenly, and re-roll. Garnish with pecans/walnuts and sprinkles. Slice and serve.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. You can also add chocolate chips or chopped candy to the batter.
