Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Frosting Filling

ADVERTISEMENT

  • For the Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For Dusting:
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the short sides to assist with rolling.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Carrot Cake Batter
  • In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until they are thick and pale in color, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the canned pureed carrots (or finely grated fresh carrots) and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Mix until well combined.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be gentle and avoid overmixing.
  • Step 3: Bake the Carrot Cake
  • Pour the carrot cake batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is set and springs back when touched lightly.
