- Prepare the Cake Batter:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale. Stir in the carrot puree and vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Bake the Cake:
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Prepare the Cake Roll:
- While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust generously with confectioners’ sugar. When the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Roll the Cake:
- Starting with a short end, carefully roll up the cake and towel together. Place seam side down on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Filling:
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Cake Roll:
- Gently unroll the cooled cake. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges. Re-roll the cake without the towel, starting from the same short end.
- Chill and Serve:
- Wrap the cake roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Dust with additional confectioners’ sugar before slicing and serving.
Tips for Success:
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
- Be gentle when rolling the cake to avoid cracks.
- You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for added texture if desired.
