Method
Cake: In large bowl, beat egg yolks with granulated sugar until pale and thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in pumpkin purée and vanilla. In separate bowl stir together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg and salt; stir into pumpkin mixture just until combined.
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into pumpkin mixture. Scrape into parchment paper–lined rimmed 15- x 11-inch jelly roll pan, smoothing top.
Bake in 375°F oven until top springs back when lightly pressed in centre, about 15 minutes. Run paring knife around edges to loosen cake.
Dust clean damp tea towel with icing sugar; invert cake onto towel. Gently peel off paper. Starting at narrow end, roll up cake in towel. Set aside, seam side down.
Filling: In bowl, beat mascarpone with cream until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in icing sugar and vanilla. Transfer half to separate bowl; set aside. Fold amaretti cookies and chocolate into remaining filling.
Unroll cake. Using offset palette knife, evenly spread amaretti mixture over cake, leaving 1/4-inch border. Gently roll up; place, seam side down, on serving platter.
Garnish: Using offset palette knife, cover cake with reserved filling. Top with chocolate shavings and amaretti cookies. Dust with icing sugar. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
