Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Frost Filling

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Pan & Oven

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Grease it lightly.

2. Make the Cake Batter

  • In a bowl, whisk together: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.

  • In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugars until thick and light (about 2–3 minutes).

  • Mix in vanilla, then fold in the dry ingredients.

  • Stir in the grated carrots and nuts (if using).

3. Bake

  • Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.

  • Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.

4. Roll the Cake

  • While hot, immediately invert cake onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar.

  • Peel off parchment. Roll the cake (with towel inside) from the short end.

  • Let it cool completely on a wire rack.

5. Make the Filling

  • Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.

  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until fluffy and well blended.

6. Assemble the Roll
