Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup raisins or currants (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and light greasing.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then add vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
  4. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel and roll it up.
  7. Prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating softened cream cheese and butter, then adding vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth.
  8. Once the cake is cool, unroll it, spread the frosting, and roll it back up without the towel.

Notes

  • Check the cake a couple of minutes before the suggested baking time to avoid overbaking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Chill the assembled cake roll for at least 30 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
