  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup finely grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
– Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

Making a Carrot Roll Cake may seem daunting, but it can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale.
4. Add Carrots and Vanilla: Stir in the grated carrots and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold in the dry ingredient mixture until just combined.
6. Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center.
8. Cool on a Wire Rack: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, invert it onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar, peeling off the parchment paper.
9. Roll the Cake: Starting from one short end, carefully roll the cake up in the towel. Allow it to cool completely while rolled.
10. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix well. Stir in the vanilla extract.
11. Unroll and Fill: Once the cake is completely cool, unroll it gently. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
12. Re-Roll the Cake: Roll the cake back up (without the towel) and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
13. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top before serving.

With these steps, you can create an incredible Carrot Roll Cake that will leave everyone wanting more!
