Method
Carrot Cake Roll:
-
Preheat oven 180C/350F.
-
Line a 10x15 inch cookie sheet pan with parchment paper. Allow the paper to come up 1-inch above the sides of the pan for easy lifting.
-
Spray the baking paper with a non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl whisk the eggs at high speed for 5 minutes until thickened and frothy. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat at high speed for 1 minute.
-
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir gently until combined. Stir in the grated carrots.
-
Spread the cake batter evenly onto your prepared baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
-
Sprinkle a large kitchen towel with icing sugar (use at least ½ cup).
-
As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, turn the cake out of the pan onto the towel.
-
Peel away the baking paper. Fold the end of the towel over the short end of the cake and roll the cake into the towel.
-
Set the cake aside to cool completely for 1 hour.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
-
While the cake is cooling, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
-
Add the vanilla and icing sugar and continue beating at low speed until creamy. Refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Very gently unroll the cake and spread the frosting onto the cake. Re-roll the cake and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
-
Dust with icing sugar before serving.
-
Enjoy!
