Today, I’m participating in a fun blogger event — the Secret Recipe Club. How does it work? Every blogger is secretly assigned another blog + chooses a recipe from that blog to make. On reveal day (today!), all of our posts go up at the same time, + everyone gets to see who was assigned to their blog, which recipe they chose, + how it turned out. Fun, huh?
I was assigned the blog I Am A Honey Bee, written by the lovely Nicole. Her blog is full of lots of awesome recipes, dining out experiences, travels, + most excitingly, updates about her soon-to-be-born baby! It didn’t take me long to choose what recipe to try from her blog – I saw an awesome-looking pumpkin roll, which reminded me that I had yet to make a single pumpkin recipe so far this fall. The horror! So, I gathered up the ingredients + got baking. This was my first time making any sort of rolled cake + I admit, I was intimidated. However, it was far easier than I expected, coming together easily + quickly. And the flavor? Sooooo good. A moist, delicate, super flavorful pumpkin cake rolled up with a sweet, amazing cream cheese frosting. So delicious!
Thank you to Nicole for introducing me to this super scrumptious Pumpkin Roll + to the Secret Recipe Club for connecting me, yet again, with fantastic bloggers + amazing recipes! For all my previous Secret Recipe Club recipes, click here – there are TONS of awesome ones!

I made this last week…it’s an amazing recipe!
This sounds delicious Amy! I would love a cup of coffee with this.
YUM!
Looks delicious! I didn’t realize that you roll the cake first and then unroll to fill with the frosting. Was that a tedious step? I’ve never made a rolled cake before, but I do love to eat them!
Not tedious, but I do wish I had rolled it tighter, which would’ve made for a more impressive spiral look. Oh well, live + learn!
I’ve never attempted a pumpkin roll – I’ve always thought it was too hard. Your looks delicious!
i need to get myself signed up for the next round of this secret club. Looks like fun!
I have always wanted to make a pumpkin roll. Yours looks beautiful!!!
Great choice! I am all about the pumpkin desserts these days.
I am droooling right now Amy. On a side note, I just made homemade pumpkin puree yesterday so that means this will be happening soon.
ooo great choice! It was fun to make.
Your pumpkin roll looks awesome!!
Can you believe I’ve never made a cake roll? I hadn’t even heard of such a thing until a few years ago. It looks so pretty!

I love pumpkin rolls, though I’ve never made one myself…I usually con my mom into making one for me, haha. I need to give it a try – yours looks great!
Amy, I’m in group A, but I like to see what everyone’s doing. I can see why you would choose the pumpkin roll. Looks amazing. I’ve always been afraid of doing rolls, but I might try.

Love your pumpkin rolls – they’re so cute! It’s a perfect first pumpkin recipe for the year.

Moist pumpkin cake with a creamy cheese filling? What’s not to love! This looks so pretty, and I know it tastes good too! Thank you for sharing!
Yum! Pumpkin cake is always one of my favs – it is never dry and always has lots of spiced flavor. Your pumpkin roll came out cute…I’ve had some that come out looking like a hot mess so cake rolling is a skill
Well, I am fascinated by cake rolls, as I know I would NEVER be able to make anything remotely like yours… no way! I have zero skills in the baking arena 😉
great choice of flavor, perfect for this time of the year!
i have a friend that makes us a pumpkin roll every season that we just love it is soooo good. i’ve been intimidated of them too….
Looks lovely! I am digging the pumpkin recipes.

Impressive! This cake looks so pretty and I’m glad you got in a pumpkin recipe!
This recipe would have put me out of my comfort zone. I don’t think my rolling skills would turn out such a wonderful spiral. Great pick!
The secret recipe club sounds like fun. I’ve never heard of that idea. Pumpkin roll – yum!
I’ve always been intimidated by rolls too, I’ve never made one – but this looks wonderful!
This is SUCH a tempting fall treat, Amy! I’ve got to buck up and finally try one for myself… but only before I have a dozen people in mind to share it with! This would be dangerous in my house, haha!
I swoon whenever I see pumpkin rolls, one of my most favorite ways to enjoy pumpkin. Looks great!
That frosting in the middle! I die. I’ve always been intimidated by any kind of roll cake but your pictures have my feeling adventurous!
What a great fall treat! It looks fantastic, especially swooning over the pretty filling – looks incredible
This looks great. I made a similar roulade a few weeks ago and it is wonderful.

Yum, this looks delish, I have always been intimidated by rolled cakes too, going to give it a try
I’ve always wanted to make a roll cake, but the rolling intimidates me. I can totally imagine it cracking and breaking on me. I really do need to try it though. I love pumpkin rolls!
