Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
3 large eggs
1 cup grated carrots (freshly grated)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

In another bowl, beat eggs until frothy; mix in grated carrots.
Combine wet and dry mixtures until just combined—avoid overmixing.
