Line a 10 by 15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.

In a stand mixer, whisk egg whites with cream of tartar and a little salt on medium low until frothy.

Combine melted butter, pumpkin puree, and vanilla in a bowl; ensure the pumpkin is at room temperature.

Sift gluten-free flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice together, then sift again for lightness.

Add brown sugar to the frothy egg whites gradually and beat until stiff peaks form.

In another bowl, beat egg yolks with brown sugar until thick and pale, reaching the ribbon stage.

Sift the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture and fold gently.

Take a quarter cup of the batter and mix it into the pumpkin mixture to lighten it.

Fold in a third of the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites.

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth it out.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until it springs back when touched or a toothpick comes out clean.

Cover the cake tightly with tin foil immediately after removing from the oven to steam it and prevent cracking.

In a bowl, whisk together cream cheese, vanilla, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Add cold heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture and whisk to stiff peaks.

Spread the filling over the cooled cake, leaving about half an inch at the far end.

Roll the cake using the parchment paper as a guide, being careful to avoid cracks.
