Roll the cake while it's hot!

This is the secret to a perfectly-swirled roll cake. While the cake is still hot, use the parchment to transfer the cake from the baking pan onto a clean kitchen towel. Using the towel as a hot mitt, roll the cake into a tight spiral from the narrow side.

The cake is much more likely to crack if it is rolled when cooled. You also want to pull the cake from the oven as soon as it is done baking. An over-baked cake is much more likely to crack, even if rolled while it is hot from the oven.

If you do not have a jelly roll pan and don't want to buy one, you can use a half sheet pan; just trace a 10×15-inch rectangle on parchment paper and spread the cake batter in that area only. For a super pretty presentation, slice off the ends of the pumpkin roll before serving to showcase the swirl!

The biggest trick to preventing your cake roll from cracking is to roll the cake up in the parchment paper as soon as it comes out of the oven. The hot cake will be soft and pliable and should roll up without cracking.

Pumpkin rolls keep well in the refrigerator and freezer, so they're the perfect dessert to make ahead of time if you'd like. To store your pumpkin roll, wrap it up tightly in plastic wrap. Then you can either refrigerate it for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

To keep your cake from becoming sticky: Roll cake immediately after baking (make sure it's cool enough to handle, but still warm). Do not put warm cake in the fridge. Frost only after cake is completely cool.

Why did my pumpkin bread come out gummy? ›

If your pumpkin spice bread is gummy or undercooked in the center, it's typically because it either 1) needed more time to bake in the oven or 2) the batter was too wet, which led the bread to collapse in on itself a bit (this happens if you measure ingredients by volume, rather than by weight: it's easy to ...

When the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done. If not, bake 5-10 minutes longer and recheck. PRO-Tip: Do not pull the loaves out without doing a toothpick check. If you remove the loaf too early, the middle will be raw.

Or, if you prefer edge brownies and thin blondies, trade out the 9x13" for the jelly roll pan, where the batter has more room to spread out (though watch the pan closely as the batter will bake faster).

Cookie sheets and jelly pans are not entirely interchangeable. However, a cookie sheet can work as a substitute for a jelly roll pan if the former has rims, and each rimmed edge is at least a half-inch high. If you don't use the proper pan to bake your jelly roll cake, it will be thinner than desired.
