  1. I'm not sure if there is something missing or incorrect in the instructions or ingredients. I made this because the simplicity appealed to me however i ended up cooking it an extra 40 minutes and the center was just starting to set while the top and edges were getting quite dark. As far as flavor it is sorta bland and would need to be served with something like a sweet sauce (caramel pecan maybe) or a cream cheese frosting which would probably give it a similar flavor to a traditional pumpkin roll. overall I was very disappointed.
