Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs until frothy; add grated carrots and vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown; the cake should spring back when touched.
  7. Invert on a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel, remove parchment paper, and roll tightly.
  8. For the filling, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth; spread over unrolled cake and re-roll gently.

Nutrition

Keywords: To prevent cracking during rolling, avoid overbaking and roll while the cake is still warm. Customize your jelly roll by adding spices like nutmeg or swapping in flavored whipped cream for the filling.
