Pumpkin Roll filled with cream cheese is a traditional holiday recipe, and it is even better when you add chocolate chips to make it more decadent!
Pumpkin and cream cheese combine in this cake to make a delicious combination of flavors. Cake rolls can seem intimidating, but they really are not hard to make, and if the roll cracks a little it doesn’t matter, because they still look and taste amazing! I stirred mini chocolate chips into the cake batter before I cooked it, so that the chocolate and pumpkin flavors melded together.

Oh my I’m drooling! I love Pacific they are a staple in our house. Must make this recipe soon.
Yum, yum, yum! I have never tried making a cake roll like this. This would be a perfect one to start with!
I also love tetra Pax boxes. We buy a lot of items in them – including Pacific products.
I am a huge fan of Pacific stocks & purees; I am elated that I can finally get them in my local stores.
Good Morning Anne, I am popping over to visit you from Say G’Day as I was intrigued by your chocolate chip pumpkin roll. We call this type of cake a Swiss Roll here in England and I was interested to see how you used pumpkin in this recipe as I have used pumpkins in savoury cooking but never in cakes.
I am looking forward to trying your recipe as Swiss Roll was something that both my Grandmother Ivy and my Mother, Phyllis used to make…. so as you can imagine I love Swiss Roll.
It is lovely to meet you. Have a wonderful weekend.
Best Wishes
Daphne
