Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs for 5 minutes until frothy and pale.
- Gradually beat in granulated sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together salt, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and flour.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the egg mixture until smooth. Gently fold in shredded carrots.
2. Bake the Cake:
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan to create a thin layer.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center.
3. Roll the Cake:
- Lay a clean kitchen towel flat and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
- Turn the hot cake onto the prepared towel, peeling off the foil.
- Starting from the short end, roll the cake and towel together into a tight spiral. Let cool completely for about 1 hour.
4. Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
5. Assemble the Cake Roll:
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and remove the towel.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface of the cake.
- Re-roll the cake tightly, ensuring the filling stays in place. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30-60 minutes.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Dust the top of the chilled cake roll with powdered sugar.
- Slice into even pieces and serve.
