For best results, use a good quality cream cheese and ensure it is fully softened before making the filling. Don't overbake the cake, or it will be dry and more prone to cracking when rolling. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or other nuts can be substituted, or you can omit them entirely. Make sure the cake is completely cool before unrolling and filling to prevent the filling from melting. The pumpkin roll can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
