How to make a delicious Carrot Cake Roll with a sweet cream cheese frosting. Don&#039;t forget to check out my step-by-step photos and tips above.

Carrot Cake Roll

all-purpose flour ((90 grams))

cinnamon

salt

baking powder

ginger

nutmeg

eggs

sugar

vegetable oil

vanilla extract

carrots (about 2–3 medium carrots (200 grams))

Food coloring (optional)

cream cheese (1 package at room temperature)

butter room temperature ((113 grams))

tsp vanilla extract ((5 milliliters))

tsp lemon extract ((5 milliliters))

Preheat oven to 375F and line a 10”x15” jelly roll sheet or quarter sheet pan with parchment paper. Cut the paper so it has an extra inch on the sides, you’ll use this excess paper to pull the cake out of the pan after baking.

Sift the flour, salt, spices, and baking powder into a medium bowl then whisk together and set aside.

Combine eggs, vanilla, and granulated sugar in a large bowl then whisk or beat until lighter in color and smooth.

Add the grated carrots and mix until incorporated.

Pour the dry mixture into the wet then fold in until just combined.

Transfer the batter into your prepared baking sheet and use a spatula or offset spatula to smooth out. The batter will be quite thin after it’s smoothed out but that’s as it should be. Bake for 13-15 minutes at 375F. The cake is done when the center springs back when pressed lightly.

While the cake bakes prepare your thin kitchen towel by dusting it with powdered sugar. When the cake is done lift it out of the pan and invert onto the sugared cloth.

Peel back the parchment paper and roll tightly then place the rolled cake on a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the cream cheese frosting by creaming the butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or large bowl if using a hand mixer. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar then beat until fluffy, smooth, and light in color. Reserve about ¼ cup of frosting for the buttercream carrots.

Unroll the cake on your counter then spread the frosting leaving about half an inch unfrosted on the two long sides as well as the short side that will be on the outside after rolling.

Roll the cake back up then wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least an hour so the frosting can set up.

Divide the reserved buttercream into two batches, color one green and the other orange then transfer to piping bags and snip the tips off.

Once the cake is chilled, dust with powdered sugar and pipe little carrots on the top and sides using the orange and green frostings (see notes for decorating tips).

Cut into slices using a sharp serrated knife and enjoy!

This is not your ordinary carrot cake recipe. Carrot Bundt Cake is wrapped around a cheesecake filling and covered with cream cheese frosting. It makes an impressive centerpiece for any dessert table!

Carrot Bundt Cake

all-purpose flour

baking soda

cloves

carrots (or finely shredded)

pecans

cream cheese, softened (8 ounce)

cream cheese (softened)

Tablespoon milk

Chopped Pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 12 cup bundt pan generously with baking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combined all the ingredients for the cake, mixing until well combined. Batter will be very thick! Set aside.

For the filling, beat cream cheese with sugar, vanilla and egg until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

To assemble, fill bottom of sprayed bundt pan with about 3/4 of the batter. Spoon the cream cheese into the pan, being careful not to let it touch the sides of the pan. Spoon the remaining batter over the cream cheese layer. It's okay if it doesn't cover completely.

Bake cake in a preheated oven for 60-65 minutes. Cake will be browned and will pull away from the pan when done. Remove from oven and cool for 5-10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.&nbsp;Cool completely before frosting.

For the frosting, beat cream cheese, milk and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Pour frosting into a large ziploc bag and snip off the corner. Pipe onto cake, generously. Sprinkle immediately with chopped pecans. ENJOY!
