• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs (room temperature)

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups finely grated carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

How to Make Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

Step 1: Preheat the Oven Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Beat the Eggs and Sugar In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs and granulated sugar on high speed for 3-5 minutes, or until thick and pale. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Add the Carrots and Nuts Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts or pecans (if using) until well combined.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6: Bake the Carrot Cake Roll Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Roll the Cake While the cake bakes, prepare a clean kitchen towel and generously sprinkle it with powdered sugar. Once the cake is done, immediately flip it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Starting at a short end, roll the cake up with the towel and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 9: Assemble the Cake Roll Once the cake is completely cool, unroll it carefully. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake. Gently roll the cake back up without the towel.

Step 10: Chill and Serve Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Perfect Carrot Cake Roll
