2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale.
4. Stir in the pumpkin and vanilla, then add the dry ingredients until just combined.

7. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up with the towel, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely.
8. In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
9. Once the cake is cool, unroll it and spread the filling evenly over the top.
