Pumpkin Cannoli Cake Roll

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottom of a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan with parchment; grease paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat eggs on high speed 3 minutes. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in pumpkin. In another bowl, whisk flour, pie spice, baking powder and baking soda; fold into egg mixture. Transfer to prepared pan, spreading evenly.

Step 3

Bake 12-15 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool 5 minutes. Invert onto a tea towel dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Gently peel off paper. Roll up cake in the towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 4

For filling, in a bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix ricotta cheese and sugar until blended; stir in chocolate chips. Fold in whipped cream.

Step 5

Unroll cake; spread filling over cake to within 1/4 in. of edges. Roll up again, without towel. Place on a platter, seam side down. Dust with confectioners’ sugar. Refrigerate, covered, at least 3 hours before serving.
