FROM THE RECIPE:

Thanksgiving dinner in my home always involves pumpkin pie. Some other sweet may be prepared to go along with it, but the pie has center stage. I like pumpkin in many forms, muffins, soups, whatever, and have had this recipe for pumpkin roulade bookmarked in Ina's Back to Basics from the day I bought the book. My son and his adorable girlfriend came to dinner last night so I thought that the timing was perfect to try a new dessert. I've learned the hard way that it isn't a good idea to experiment on an occasion where traditions are sacred, so wanted to give this recipe a trial run. The decision was unanimous: we loved it! Another reminder that we can always count on Ina. I filled the cake with sweetened whipped cream instead of the ginger buttercream and was tempted to add a cream cheese frosting, but changed my mind at the last minute. This is a winner and may take the place of pie at dinner next week. That's how much we liked it.
