- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 granulated sugar
- 2 tbs vegetable oil
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 3 medium carrots (shredded)
Cream Cheese filling
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup cream cheese (one 8oz package)
- 6tbs butter
- 1tps vanilla extract
Glaze
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 9-11 tsp milk
Instructions
Carrot
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and use baking paper to line a 15x10 jelly roll pan, leaving a little excess on each side.
- Whisk to combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs, then add the vegetable oil, vanilla, and shredded carrot. Mix until well combined.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the carrot mixture until blended. Pour the cake batter into the prepared jelly pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake this for 12-13 minutes, then remove it from the oven. Use the excess baking paper like handles to lift the cake from the pan.
- Place the cake on a flat surface and gently roll lengthwise, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Filling
- In a medium bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth and lump-free.
Assemble Cake Roll
- Gently unroll the cake and spread an even layer of the filling onto the cake. Leave small gaps at each end to the filling from oozing out.
- Reroll the cake and secure it tightly with plastic wrap, chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before slicing.
- Once the cake has been chilled, make the glaze. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and beat until smooth and creamy. Drizzle on top of the cake, slice, and serve.
Love carrot cake and love pumpkin rolls, this sounds like a perfect recipe for me. Question: I know cream cheese doesn’t freeze well but with the added ingredients can the left-over roll be frozen for a later date?
Yes, Gloria. The Leftover can be frozen for up to three weeks.
