Ingredients
1 cup All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamo
½ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon Ground ginger
3 large Eggs
1 cup Granulated sugar
½ cup Vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 ½ cups Finely grated carrots (about 3 medium carrots)
8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
½ cup Unsalted butter, softened
4 cups Powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger
- In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and thick. Then, add vegetable oil and vanilla extract
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in carrots
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until springy and golde
- Invert the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel, peel off the parchment paper, and roll the cake tightly with the towel
- Let it cool completely on a wire rack
- For the filling, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until fluffy
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over it
- Re-roll the cake without the towel, seam-side down, and chill for 1-2 hours before slicing
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving
Notes
Ensure the cake is rolled while warm to prevent cracking.
Sift powdered sugar for the cream cheese filling for a smoother texture.
