    This Pumpkin Spice Cake Roll with Maple Bourbon Cream has everything that there is to love about fall involved!  The bourbon spiked maple cream filling really complements the pumpkin sponge cake! Fall just got a whole lot better with this dessert in your future!

    To make this recipe you will need: eggs, canned pumpkin, granulated and confectioners sugar, flour, Pumpkin Pie Spice, Maple, and Bourbon 

    Pumpkin Spice Roll with Maple Bourbon Cream

    This post for Pumpkin Spice Cake Roll with Maple Bourbon Cream is sponsored in conjunction with PumpkinWeek. Product samples were received from sponsor companies and used in the recipes created to share with my readers. All opinions are mine alone.

    Welcome to day three of PumpkinWeek! Today I am sharing a recipe with you that Grumpy insisted I make. As soon as he found out I would be making pumpkin recipes, his only comment was: "You HAVE to make a pumpkin roll!" So, to make him happy, and to be creative, I came up with a filling that has fall flavors that will also compliment the pumpkin cake!

    Pouring the cake batter onto the sheet pan.

    I have always been a maple kind of girl. I grew up in an area where making maple syrup was a part of our north country life. My dad even made his own maple syrup for a while. Let me tell you, it is a lot of work and it takes a lot of sap to make that delicious golden syrup. However, it is SO worth it!

    When it comes to bourbon, there are a few ingredients that work incredibly well with it and maple syrup is one of them. Have you ever just opened a bottle of bourbon just to take a whiff? I love everything about it, the taste, the smell and I especially love using it as an ingredient in my cooking and baking!

    I probably make a pumpkin roll once a year and usually around the holidays. This year I am a little early! Sponge cakes can be tricky and you want to handle them with care!

    Top Tips

    • Line your jelly roll pan (12 x 17) with parchment or wax paper to assist in easy removal of the cake.
    • Make sure you have a cotton towel that is large enough for your cake to lie flat on.
    • Be generous with the confectioner's sugar coating on your towel. If you don't use enough, your cake may stick to the towel.
    • Use the towel as a guide when rolling the cake back up.
    • Be patient! Let it cool completely before doing any assembly. If you aren't and you assemble too quickly, your filling will melt!

    This makes a great dessert to serve over the upcoming holidays. It speaks fall and tastes amazing! There are so many other filling options that can be fall like. I am thinking a caramel apple would be amazing also! Now, go ahead, print the recipe and scroll down to be sure to enter the giveaway
