Pumpkin Cake Roll

Thanks to Marcia Schuckman for sharing! (But, now 9/25/2014 - I will be not making it - because I'm following Wheat Belly lifestyle - no grains - meaning wheat flour and no sugar - meaning no sugar. So I now will make this by substituting almond flour & use Swerve as the "sugar". Onward!
