Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan, then line it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the vegetable oil, grated carrots, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Cake

    Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, gently turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.

  7. 7

    Roll the Cake

    While the cake is still warm, roll it up in the towel starting from the short end. Allow it to cool completely in the rolled position.

Filling Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until creamy and smooth.

  2. 9

    Add Sugar and Flavor

    Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined and fluffy.

Assembly and Decoration

  1. 10

    Unroll and Spread Filling

    Once the cake has cooled completely, gently unroll it. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface of the cake.

  2. 11

    Roll the Cake Again

    Carefully roll the cake back up without the towel, making sure to keep it tight. Place seam-side down on a serving platter.

  3. 12

    Decorate

    Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top of the rolled cake and dust with powdered sugar to taste before serving.
