Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix grated carrots, flour, sugar, oil, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla until combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Once baked, remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Roll the cake in the parchment paper to form a cylinder and let cool completely.
  6. For the filling, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
  7. Unroll the cake, spread the filling evenly, and then roll it back up. Chill in the refrigerator before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before spreading the filling to prevent it from melting.
  • You can add walnuts or raisins for extra texture.
