Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups finely grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Fold in the grated carrots and optional walnuts.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes, then carefully roll the warm cake in a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Let cool completely.
  8. For the filling, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  9. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly over the surface, then gently re-roll the cake without the towel.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure to grate the carrots finely for the best texture.
  • Rolling the cake while warm helps prevent cracking.
  • You can wrap and freeze the cake for up to 1 month.
