Orange Pumpkin Roulade Recipes

Steps:

• Make cake:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 17 1/2x11 1/2x1-inch baking sheet. Line with parchment paper, allowing 1-inch overhang on all sides. Butter parchment. Mix 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, allspice and ginger in small bowl. Sprinkle over parchment. Place kitchen towel on work surface. Sift powdered sugar over towel.
• Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 4 eggs, 3 yolks and extract in large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat until thick and pale yellow, about 6 minutes. Sift flour and baking powder over egg mixture; gently fold in. Using clean dry beaters, beat whites until medium-stiff peaks form. Fold whites into batter in 2 additions.
• Pour batter into prepared baking sheet; spread to edges. Bake cake until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Invert onto prepared towel. Peel off parchment. Starting at 1 long side, roll up cake in towel. Cool.
• Make filling:
• Pour 2 tablespoons water into small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over. Let soften 10 minutes.
• Whisky yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch and brown sugar in medium bowl to blend. Whisk half and half, pumpkin and vanilla in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Gradually whisk hot pumpkin mixture into yolk mixture. Return mixture to same saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until mixture boils and thicken. Remove from heat. Whisk in orange juice concentrate and orange peel.
• Stir gelatin mixture over low heat just until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup pumpkin mixture; whisk into remaining pumpkin mixture. Chill until cold and thick, whisking occasionally, at least 6 hours. (Cake and filling can be made 1 day ahead. Cover cake with foil; store at room temperature. Keep filling chilled.)
• Unroll cake. Spread filling over cake; roll up cake, enclosing filling. Arrange cake seam side down on platter.
• Beat whipping cream and 1 tablespoon sugar in large bowl until stiff. Spoon cream into pastry bag fitted with large star tip. Pipe in lengthwise rows over roulade. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Chill.) Garnish platter with orange slices and mint, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 18 by 1-inch sheet pan. Line the pan with parchment paper and grease and flour the paper.
• In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt and stir to combine. Place the eggs and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until light yellow and thickened. With the mixer on low, add the pumpkin, then slowly add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Finish mixing the batter by hand with a rubber spatula. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake the cake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the top springs back when gently touched.
• While the cake is baking, lay out a clean, thin cotton dish towel on a flat surface and sift the entire 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar evenly over it. (This will prevent the cake from sticking to the towel.) As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, loosen it around the edges and invert it squarely onto the prepared towel. Peel away the parchment paper. With a light touch, roll the warm cake and the towel together (don't press!) starting at the short end of the cake. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, and cream together for about a minute, until light and fluffy. Stir in the crystallized ginger, and salt.
• To assemble, carefully unroll the cake onto a board with the towel underneath. Spread the cake evenly with the filling. Reroll the cake in a spiral using the towel as a guide. Remove the towel and trim the ends to make a neat edge. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve sliced.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Coat a 12-inch x 15-inch x 1-inch jelly-roll pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray. Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg, ginger and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer on high until fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar until combined. Reduce speed to low; add pumpkin, zest and vanilla until just combined. Gently but thoroughly fold in flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Spread into an even layer. Sprinkle pecans on top. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Lightly dust a clean towel with confectioners' sugar. Remove cake from oven. Invert cake onto towel. Remove pan. Gently peel off top parchment. Tightly roll up cake in towel, starting on long side closest to you. Place seam side down on a rack. Place gelatin and 1 tablespoon cold water in a heatproof bowl; place bowl in pan of hot water to melt gelatin. In another bowl, beat ricotta, cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer on medium until smooth. Beat in gelatin and candied peel. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour. Gently unroll cake; set towel aside. Spread top with even layer of filling, leaving a 1-inch border on the far side. Gently roll up cake. Place seam side down on a platter. Refrigerate until ready to serve, covered loosely with plastic wrap. Before serving, trim cake by diagonally cutting thin slice off each end. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
