Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups finely grated carrots
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until thick and pale. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the grated carrots.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Remove the cake from the oven and immediately turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread an even layer of cream cheese frosting. Re-roll the cake without the towel.
- Refrigerate the cake roll for at least 1 hour before slicing.
