Hi Dave,


 DD> Struck a nerve, huh? My cake making these days is more likely to by a
 DD> mug cake made in the nuker. If I make a cake to take to a "do" off
 DD> site it will probably be this one ... which I've made many times and
 DD> is always a hit.

 RH> Just brought back some memories. I'm not doing too much cake baking
 RH> these days, usually just for a pot luck or something else on that line.
 RH> Sometimes a hot milk cake in spring to go with fresh strawberries, but
 RH> I think I passed on doing that this past spring. I do the pumpkin roll
 RH> in October for Steve's birthday most years. Last year we'd just gotten
 RH> back from an extended trip so bought a pumpkin roll--it didn't taste as
 RH> good as the home made so I went back to doing one this year.

 DD> Just looked in my recipe base. Of 22K recipes I have 2 for pumpkin
 DD> roll. One of which is from Diabetes Connect and looks rather "monkey
 DD> motion"
 DD> and this one (which has no pumpkin)

The one I have calls for 2/3 c pumpkin. Got it from my MIL when we came
back from Germany in 1992. It's baked as a regular cake in a 10x15
rimmed sheet pan, then rolled as soon as it comes out of the oven. When
it is cooled, it is unrolled, filled with a cream cheese mix and
re-rolled, put in the fridge until serving time. I'll dig out the recipe
and post it; you will probably add it to your collection. (G)
