# Ingredients:
Cake
01 -
1 box carrot cake mix with included ingredients
02 -
1 cup freshly grated carrot
Frosting
03 -
227 grams cream cheese, softened
04 -
71 grams butter, softened
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
240 grams powdered sugar, plus additional for dusting
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Generously dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and set aside.
02 -
Prepare carrot cake batter according to the box directions or your preferred recipe. Fold in grated carrots gently. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
03 -
Immediately invert the baked cake onto the sugared kitchen towel, carefully peel off the parchment paper. Fold the towel over the short ends of the cake and roll it tightly from one short edge to the other. Let the rolled cake cool for 45 to 60 minutes.
04 -
Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract and gradually incorporate powdered sugar, mixing until creamy and spreadable.
05 -
Unroll the cooled cake carefully. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface. Re-roll the cake tightly and place seam-side down on a serving dish. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Dusting the kitchen towel with powdered sugar prevents the cake from sticking while rolling.
