Kosher Soul Pumpkin Roll

Now that Halloween is out of the way, it's time to focus on Thanksgiving. The day we stuff ourselves till we about burst. Oh, I can't wait. My dear friend and hubby will be in NYC for turkey day, so I am starting thing about what I am going to make...I still don't know, but I am having fun deciding.

I found a delicious recipe for a pumpkin roll cake. I made it for a client to take to a party. SUCCESS!

Here it is, kosher soul pumpkin roll!

Kosher Soul Pumpkin Roll

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1. Line a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan with waxed paper and grease the paper; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs for 5 minutes. Add the sugar, flour, pumpkin, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, salt and nutmeg; mix well. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan; sprinkle with pecans.
2. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly. Cool for 5- 10 minutes. Turn cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Gently peel off waxed paper. Roll up cake in towel, jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Electrolux

Tuesday night I had the pure pleasure of going to an exclusive event for
Electrolux (www.electroluxappliances.com), the premium kitchen brand that
has been used in Europe for 70 years plus.

If Electrolux does not ring a bell, think Kelly Ripa commercials. Ah ha moment!

Chef Brad Steelman from River Cafe was in the house cooking up goodies for
us food bloggers to show why the appliances are a must have. I was highly
impressed! I always get giddy when I see fabulous kitchen equipment, but
this exceeded my expectations. Not only is the design of the Electrolux hot
( no pun intended), but talk about easy to use. Even a newbie to the
kitchen would be able to find their way around since it can be as easy as
touching a button. No more excuses about how you burned this or that.

I found out that Electrolux is going to be K certified, oh yes, K certified.That's kosher soul baby. As soon as the K hits Electrolux, I will be sure
to let you know.

Check out their website for the virtual kitchen.
