Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups grated carrots
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the grated carrots.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until combined and creamy.
- Once the cake is baked, immediately invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Peel off the parchment paper.
- Carefully spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the warm cake.
- Starting from one of the short ends, tightly roll up the cake with the frosting.
- Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure carrots are finely grated for best texture.
- Do not overmix the batter.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before frosting and rolling.
- Chill the cake thoroughly before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.
