Ingredients
Scale
- 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 grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the eggs and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until thick and pale (about 3-5 minutes).
- Combine the dry ingredients with the egg mixture gradually until just mixed.
- Add the grated carrots and nuts, gently folding them in.
- Spread the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan evenly.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Prepare a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Invert the baked cake onto the towel, peeling off the parchment paper.
- Roll the cake using the towel and let it cool completely.
- Make the filling by beating cream cheese, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly.
- Re-roll the cake without the towel, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cake cools completely before adding filling to prevent melting.
