Ingredients

• 75 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 150 grams Grated carrots
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• 225 grams Cream cheese
• 60 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 120 grams Powdered sugar (for filling)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until thick and pale, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually add granulated sugar and brown sugar into the eggs, while continuously beating until combined and glossy.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and grated carrots.

Step 6

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan. Spread it out evenly with a spatula, making sure it reaches all edges.

Step 8

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center.

Step 9

Lay a clean kitchen towel flat on a work surface and dust it generously with powdered sugar.

Step 10

Once the cake is baked, carefully flip it onto the prepared towel while still warm. Peel off the parchment paper and tightly roll the cake and towel together from the short edge. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 11

While the cake cools, make the cream cheese frosting by beating the cream cheese and softened butter together until smooth and fluffy.

Step 12

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 13

Once the cake has cooled, carefully unroll it, removing the towel. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cake, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.

Step 14

Re-roll the cake (without the towel) tightly, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Step 15

Before serving, dust the roulage with powdered sugar and slice into 1-inch rolls. Enjoy!
