Happy fall everyone! In honor of the calendar that officially turns into the new season this week, I thought I'd climb my favorite fall dessert recipe to the top of the blog again.

Yep, I'm talking about a good, old-fashioned, delicious classic pumpkin roll. ♡

I've had a tradition of making pumpkin rolls every fall for at least a decade now, and I always look forward to the relaxing, relaxing, and delicious fall vibe they bring. But I have to say that this year, during the first September we live abroad, this little tradition has been particularly nostalgic and comforting.

Although it now requires a special trip across town to one store in Barcelona that sells canned pumpkin puree, plus an extra trip to a different store to buy brick from "Philadelphia" (the name for cream cheese here in Spain, so cute), and some big messing around in the oven. Little Spaniard - The rhythms, feelings, smells and flavors of this ritual sound as familiar as ever. And the second time I cut a lovely round of a perfectly paired pumpkin cake filled with cream cheese filling, it tastes just as delicious as ever and feels the world wonderfully magical and comfortably small for a moment. Feel like a fall.

Anyway, if you also have a craving this season for a classic pumpkin roll, this recipe has been a favorite for years. But has been updated with the method of wrapping the cake in parchment paper, which I found to be simpler and more reliable than the classic towel method. If this is your first time making a pumpkin wrap, fear not - it's a lot easier than it might seem.

Let's make a pumpkin wrap !!
