1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack placed in middle of the oven. Line a sheet pan or jelly roll pan with Silpat or parchment paper.
2. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and Maldon sea salt. Set aside.
3. In large bowl, stir eggs and both sugars until well combined. Add vanilla extract and pumpkin puree and stir until smooth. Add dry ingredients and fold until just combined.
4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Using offset spatula, spread until batter is evenly distributed in the pan. Place in preheated oven.
5. Bake cake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only crumbs attached.
6. Remove cake from oven and set pan on wire rack to cool for 15 minutes.
7. Prepare clean tea towel by lightly sprinkling with powdered sugar. Carefully turn cake onto towel and allow to cool another ten minutes. Gently roll cake in towel and allow to cool completely.
8. As cake cools, prepare filling. With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl. Add vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Set aside until cake is completely cool.
