Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later.
  3. In a large bowl: Beat the eggs along with both granulated sugar and light brown sugar until thick and creamy (about 2 minutes). Add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients while mixing just until combined. Fold in the grated carrots along with chopped walnuts if you choose to include them.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  6. While baking, dust a clean kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar.
  7. As soon as you remove it from the oven: Carefully invert it onto your prepared towel. Peel off the parchment paper. Roll up the cake within the towel starting from one short end. Allow it to cool completely for about 1 hour.
  8. In a large bowl: Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and softened butter until smooth and creamy.
  9. Once completely cooled: Gently unroll the cake from its towel. Spread an even layer of cream cheese frosting over it. Re-roll without using the towel again and place seam-side down on a serving platter. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing into portions.
