Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated fresh carrots
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually stir in grated carrots and optional pecans.
- Gently fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once baked, let it cool slightly before flipping onto a powdered-sugar-dusted kitchen towel. Roll tightly using the towel and allow it to cool completely.
- Whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Unroll the cooled cake gently, spread the cream cheese filling evenly, then roll back up without the towel. Slice and serve.
