Making the Cream Cheese Frosting Filling

  1. Beat the Cream Cheese and Butter: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until the frosting is fluffy and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt and continue to mix until fully combined.

Assembling the Carrot Cake Roll

  1. Unroll the Cake: Once the cake has completely cooled, carefully unroll it from the towel. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese frosting on the inside of the cake, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
  2. Roll It Up: Carefully roll the cake back up (without the towel this time!) from one short end to the other. Be gentle, as the cake is delicate, but it should hold together beautifully.
  3. Chill the Cake: Place the rolled carrot cake in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the cream cheese filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
  4. Serve: Once chilled, slice the carrot cake roll into pieces and serve. You’ll have beautifully swirled slices with a creamy, tangy frosting center.

Tips and Variations

  • Decorate the Cake: For a special touch, dust the top of the rolled cake with powdered sugar or chopped nuts. You can also drizzle it with a little extra cream cheese frosting for a decorative finish.
  • Make it Gluten-Free: If you prefer a gluten-free version, simply swap out the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend that’s designed for baking.
  • Add Spices: Feel free to customize the spices in the cake by adding a pinch of ginger or cloves for an extra burst of warmth and flavor.
  • For Extra Moisture: If you like your carrot cake a bit more moist, you can add a 1/4 cup of vegetable oil to the batter along with the eggs and sugar.
