Ingredients
Cake:
- 3/4 cup cake flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 6 large eggs, separated
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup golden brown sugar, packed
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin, packed
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar
Filling:
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 cup whipping cream, chilled
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup English toffee pieces for garnish
- Additional powdered sugar, for garnish
- 1 1/2 cups purchased caramel sauce, warmed, for garnish
Directions
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a 15 by 10 by 1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
Sift the flour, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice into a small bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until very thick. Add the pumpkin to the egg mixture and combine at a low speed until incorporated. Add the dry ingredients and beat at a low speed until mixed. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until stiff but not dry. Fold into the cake batter, stirring with a spatula, until most of the white streaks are gone.
Spread the batter onto a baking sheet and smooth out. Transfer baking sheet to the oven and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 15 to 18 minutes. While the cake is hot, dust generously with powdered sugar. Loosen the edges and turn the cake out onto a kitchen towel. Fold the towel over the edge of the cake and roll up. Cool completely, edge down, for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
For the filling: Soften the gelatin in the rum. Stir over low heat until the gelatin dissolves. Cool. Beat the chilled whipping cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl until peaks form. Fold in the gelatin and 6 tablespoons English toffee pieces.
To assemble, unroll the cake and sprinkle with 4 tablespoons of English toffee pieces. Spread the filling over the toffee. Start at 1 long side of the cake roll and, using the towel as an aid, roll up the cake to encase the filling. Place the cake, seam side down, on a platter.
Trim the ends of the cake at a slight diagonal. Dust the cake with powdered sugar. Spoon some warm caramel sauce and the remaining toffee chips over the top of the cake. To serve, use a serrated knife to cut the cake crosswise into 1-inch thick slices. Drizzle more sauce on each slice and serve.

This roll was delicious, but I had a question. When I put the gelatin and rum in the whipped cream it was stringy. Can you tell me how to rectify this problem? Otherwise it was so good !!!
Didn't have any left.

fab cake recipe, very easy, was gone in about ten minutes, didn't bother with the rum/gelatin thing just whipped some heavy cream, vanilla instead of rum so it was kid friendly and not having english toffee I pounded a couple of Heath candy bars. If you don't use gelatin, fill, reroll and pop into the freezer so the cream stays firm until you are ready to serve, warm caramel is
definitely the last step
