Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (100g) finely grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots, peeled and shredded)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • ¼ cup (60ml) heavy cream or full-fat coconut cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, letting edges hang over.
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light, fluffy, and pale yellow (3-4 minutes).
  4. Slowly add vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing gently until combined.
  5. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture gently until no dry streaks remain.
  6. Fold in finely grated carrots.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth to an even ½ inch thickness.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cake springs back when touched and toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Lay a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar on a flat surface.
  10. Invert cake onto sugared towel, peel off parchment paper, and roll cake and towel together from short edge. Let cool completely rolled up.
  11. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  12. Unroll cooled cake and spread cream cheese filling evenly, leaving a small border.
  13. Re-roll cake without towel, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in fridge for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

Roll the cake while warm using a sugared towel to prevent cracking. Chill the filled roll for at least 1 hour before slicing for clean cuts. Use finely grated carrots for moist texture. Can substitute almond flour for gluten-free and dairy-free cream cheese alternatives for vegan/dairy-free versions.
