For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the filling. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cook until it turns a nutty brown color, and then let it cool slightly before using. Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the cake enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. Make sure the cream cheese and butter are fully softened before making the filling to ensure a smooth and creamy texture. Don't overbake the cake, or it will be dry and more prone to cracking when rolled. Rolling the cake while it's still warm helps prevent it from cracking. Be gentle and patient!

Mar 6, 2025My cake cracked a little when I rolled it, but it still tasted amazing! I think I might have overbaked it slightly. Next time, I'll check it a minute or two earlier.

Aug 9, 2024The addition of lemon juice really brightens the flavor of the pumpkin. I also added a pinch of cloves to the spice mixture for a little extra warmth.
