Looking for a delightful treat that rolls up all the flavors of classic carrot cake? This Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Frosting will have everyone coming back for seconds! 
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. This will be the dry mix.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. It should almost look pale in color!
4. Gradually fold in the dry mixture until well combined. Next, stir in those luscious grated carrots and walnuts, if you're using them for that extra crunch!
5. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan, spreading it out gently.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
7. Once baked, take it out and let it cool slightly in the pan.
8. While that cools, prepare your frosting by beating together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy—this is the good stuff!
9. When the cake has cooled, spread that dreamy cream cheese filling evenly over the top.
10. Carefully roll the cake from one short side to the other, using the parchment paper to help you along.
11. Wrap it up tightly in plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour before you slice it up and serve.
Enjoy every bite of this sweet roll!
