Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 cup grated fresh carrots
8 oz sugar-free cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Stir in grated carrots. Combine with dry ingredients until just mixed.
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool slightly before rolling in parchment paper to maintain shape as it cools completely.
For the filling, blend cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Unroll the cooled cake gently, spread the filling evenly, and re-roll.
Slice and serve as desired.
