The Holy Grail Dessert That Is A NECESSITY For My Family's Thanksgiving

Every year for Thanksgiving my family makes something different. Sometimes it's a traditional turkey, sometimes it's a slab of ribs! But there is one dish we always have, and that is my grandma's famous pumpkin roll. Pumpkin spice cake rolled with cream cheese makes the perfect dessert. Especially if you're not a big fan of the traditional pumpkin pie. It's super quick and easy to make, and also delicious of course!

-Powdered sugar

-3/4 cup all-purpose flour

-1/2 teaspoon baking powder

-1/2 teaspoon baking soda

-1 cup granulated sugar

-2/3 cup Libby's pure pumpkin

filling:

-6 tablespoons softened butter

5. Beat eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl until thick. Stir in the pumpkin, then the flour mixture.

6. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

7. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when touched.

8. Loosen the cake and turn onto the prepared towel. Then carefully peel off the wax paper.

10. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

11. Carefully unroll the cake and remove the towel.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from.

Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
