Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups finely grated carrots
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar and brown sugar until thick and pale. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the grated carrots.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  6. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Starting at a short end, roll the cake up with the towel. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is spreadable.
  8. Unroll the cooled cake and spread an even layer of cream cheese frosting over the surface. Re-roll the cake without the towel and place it seam-side down on a serving plate.
  9. Refrigerate the cake roll for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve chilled and enjoy!
