Mom's Famous Pumpkin Rolls

I remember mom making these for neighbor gifts at Christmas time. She'd roll each pumpkin roll up in a cute holiday handtowel. These were served at mom and dad's wedding reception.

3 eggs
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
2/3 c. pumpkin
3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
nuts (optional)

Beat eggs until frothy. Add sugar, lemon juice, and pumpkin. Mix well and add flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Pour mixture onto cookie sheet. Sprinkle nuts on the top, if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Sprinkle a dishtowel with powdered sugar and lay on top of warm pumpkin roll cake. Flip the pumpkin roll over out of pan and peel off waxed paper. Roll the towel and cake up while warm. Allow cake to cool. Unroll carefully, frost with pumpkin roll frosting, and roll back up without towel. Slice up and serve.

Pumpkin Roll Frosting

1 c. powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. cream cheese
4 tsp. margarine

Soften cream cheese and margarine. Mix together. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla.
