Preheat oven to 375 F.


In a large bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, pumpkin, and lemon juice.


In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.


Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until well blended.


Line a 10 1/2'; by 15'; cookie sheet with parchment paper, trimming excess.


Pour the batter onto the cookie sheet, spread evenly.


Sprinke with pecans.


Bake 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.


Prepare a linen towel heavily sprinkled with powdered sugar.


After baking, turn the cookie sheet onto the towel, parchment paper side up.


The cake should slide out onto the towel.


Remove paper and roll up the cake into the towel.


Cool 30-40 minutes.


For the filling, stir together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, margarine and vanilla.


Mix well.


After the roll has cooled, unroll it and spread the filling evenly.


Re-roll and slice for serving.
Avoid field pumpkins, which are bred for perfect jack o' lanterns: they tend to be too large and stringy for baking. Ask your grocer or farmer for sugar pie pumpkins or other flavorful varieties: small and sweet, with dark orange-coloured flesh, they're perfect for pies, soups, muffins and breads.
