Cake:
4 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
1 ½ C. granulated sugar
1 C. pureed cooked and peeled sweet potatoes (may use leftover boiled, baked, or drained from a 15 oz. can)
2 tsp. fresh orange juice
1 1/2 tsp. very fine orange zest
1 1/8 C. all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/3 C. finely chopped pecans
Filling:
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/3 C. margarine, softened
2 1/2 C. powdered sugar
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. very fine orange zest

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Line a large cookie sheet with baking parchment. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, egg yolk, and sugar on high speed for 3 minutes. Add sweet potatoes, orange juice, and zest. Beat on low for 1 minute.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. With mixer on low, gradually beat in flour mixture just until evenly mixed.
  • Spread evenly on parchment lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle top with pecans. Bake for 22-28 minutes or until center is dry when touched lightly with fingertip.
  • Remove from oven. Invert onto a large kitchen towel. Remove paper from back. Place a second slightly damp kitchen towel on top of cake roll and flip over. Remove towel so that pecan-topped side is up.
  • Starting on a long side, roll up towel and cake roll together. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

  • Meanwhile, for filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and margarine together on medium speed until smooth. Add powdered sugar and cinnamon. Beat on low speed until smooth. Stir in zest.
  • Unroll cake roll and spread filling evenly over pecans. Roll up again and wrap completely in plastic wrap.
  • Chill for 2-3 hours before slicing into 3/4-inch thick slices and arranging on a platter to serve.
