Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a jelly roll pan (10×15 inches) with parchment paper.
In one bowl, mix together all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk eggs thoroughly. Add in sugar, oil, and vanilla extract; mix well.
Gradually stir in the dry mixture until just combined; fold in the shredded carrots gently.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for about 10–13 minutes or until it springs back when touched.
Remove from the oven and roll the warm cake with the parchment paper from one end to another; cool for about 10 minutes.
Prepare frosting by beating cream cheese until smooth, then add butter gradually followed by powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Carefully unroll the cake, spread frosting over most of it, leaving one end unfrosted. Re-roll tightly from the frosted side and chill before slicing.
