Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for 3-5 minutes until thick and light in color.
Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and beat until well combined.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth the top.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when touched.
While the cake is baking, lay a thin kitchen towel on the counter and sprinkle it with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
Once the cake is done, immediately turn the cake out onto the prepared towel. Peel off the parchment paper carefully.
Starting from the narrow end, carefully roll the cake and towel together into a log. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
For the filling, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and 1 cup of powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Once the cake is completely cool, unroll it gently and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
Roll the cake back up (without the towel) and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Dust with additional powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
