1.You will need to grease a 10" x 15" inch jelly roll pan and then line with waxed paper. Grease and flour the waxed paper. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2.On a flat, non-ribbed towel, sprinkle 1/4 cup of powdered sugar as you would for rolling out cookies. This will be for the roll that is removed from the oven. 3.Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a bowl. In a large mixing bowl, mix the eggs and granulated sugar until thick. Add pumpkin to the egg mixture. Stir dry mixture to wet mixture. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle almonds over mixture evenly. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the top of cake springs back when touched. Immediately loosen and turn cake onto prepared towel. Remove wax paper slowly, and ensure cake is flat and not bunched. Roll up cake and towel together (rolling the shorter end). Allow to cool on a wire rack. 4.In mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, butter and vanilla until smooth. Unroll cake and towel, slowly. Spread mixture evenly over cake. Ensure that the filling is over the whole cake as it will need to be rolled up again. Re-roll cake, but do not use the towel. Wrap completed roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. To serve, slice and place a serving on a plate. Sprinkle powdered sugar for presentation. Add whipped cream if desired.
