Ingredients

Scale

1 cup freshly grated carrots
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
4 large eggs
8 oz softened cream cheese
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In another bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Mix in grated carrots and melted butter.
Combine wet and dry ingredients gently until just mixed.
Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until it springs back when touched.
While cooling, whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
Once cooled, invert the cake onto a powdered-sugar-dusted towel, spread frosting evenly, and roll tightly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
