Heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat bottom and sides of a 15 X10 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Beat eggs for about 5 minutes until thick and lemon colored, gradually add sugar, beating until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder,ginger, nutmeg and salt. Add to egg mixture and beat well. Combine pumpkin, pecans and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and gradually add to mixture, beating well. Spread into prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. While the cake is still hot, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of powdered sugar on a 15 X 10 inch area of a kitchen towel. Turn cake over onto the towel, and peel off parchment paper. Starting at the narrow end, roll up cake and the towel. (leaving the towel in the cake until it completely cools). Place seam side down on wire rack to cool completely. For Filling:
Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy, gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar. Stir in vanilla and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
Carefully unroll cooled cake and remove towel. Spread cream cheese mixture over the top of the cake, re-roll cake and place seam side down on a serving platter, cover and chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar if desired.
