Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves
  • 3 medium carrots, shredded
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 6 tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups confectioners sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 10–11 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and granulated sugar until combined. Add vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and shredded carrots. Mix until well combined.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched lightly.
  6. Remove the cake from the oven and lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place the cake onto a large cutting board lined with parchment paper.
  7. Gently roll the warm cake lengthwise along with the parchment paper. Let the cake cool completely in this rolled-up form on a wire rack.
  8. In a medium bowl, combine confectioners sugar, softened cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  9. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small gap around the edges.
  10. Reroll the cake tightly, using the parchment paper to help lift and guide it. Wrap the rolled cake in plastic cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  11. Before serving, prepare the glaze by whisking together confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  12. Unwrap the chilled cake roll and transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the prepared glaze over the cake.
  13. Slice the cake roll into rounds and serve.
