Description

This Easy Carrot Cake Roll features a soft, spiced carrot cake filled with creamy cream cheese frosting. It’s perfect for a quick dessert or holiday treat, with a light, fluffy texture and delightful flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 15×10-inch jelly-roll pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
  • Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until fully combined.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the vegetable oil, grated carrots, and chopped walnuts, mixing well.
  • Prepare the Cake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared jelly-roll pan.
  • Bake the Cake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  • Cool the Cake: Loosen the cake from the edges of the pan and turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully roll the cake and towel together from the narrow end. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Unroll and Fill: Once cooled, unroll the cake and remove the towel. Spread the cake evenly with cream cheese frosting, then roll it up again.
  • Chill and Serve: Refrigerate until ready to serve, then slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to roll the cake while it’s still warm to prevent cracking.
  • Dust the towel with powdered sugar to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • This cake is best served chilled and can be made a day ahead for convenience.
