Ingredients:
For the Carrot Cake:
– 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp ground ginger
– 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
– 1/8 tsp ground cloves
– 3 large eggs
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tbsp oil (canola or vegetable)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 2 cups shredded carrots
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
– 8 oz cream cheese, cold
– 8 tbsp (1/2 cup) butter, room temperature
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
– In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
– In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine and Fold:
– Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in the shredded carrots.
5. Bake:
– Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
6. Roll and Cool:
– As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, carefully lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Place it on a flat surface.
– Starting from a short end, roll the cake up in the parchment paper while it is still warm. Let it cool completely, about 10 minutes.
