  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and grated carrots.
  4. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until well mixed.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. While still warm, invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up tightly in the towel. Let it cool completely while rolled up.
  8. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  9. Once the cake has cooled completely, gently unroll it. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
  10. Carefully re-roll the cake, this time without the towel, and transfer it to a serving platter.
  11. Slice the cake into rounds and serve. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Make sure to grate the carrots finely and don’t skip the cooling step after baking.
