I had a chance to do a taste comparison between my recipe #103201, Troy Hakala's #5365. The spices make this a great substitute for pumpkin pie but the cake was not as light and fluffy as the other recipes using baking soda instead of baking powder. -
I love this dessert. It is really easy and really impressive. -
Yummy. I made two for a Christmas party and there was nothing left. It was the first time I had ever done it, and I was intimidated by the rolling but it was clear and easy to follow and turned out great. -
I increased the cinnamon in this one to 2 tablespoons and made a pumpkin roll that I took to work. Got rave reviews, several people asked for the recipe. Not a lot of trouble to make either.
