Plus, the cake is super moist made with fresh carrots, then stuffed with a heavenly cream cheese filling.

How to make Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F. Using parchment paper, line a 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan. Make sure to leave a bit of overhang on each side.
Step 2: Place the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
Step 3: Whisk the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until well combined. Then, add the vegetable oil along with the vanilla extract, and carrots. Mix again until everything is incorporated.
Step 4: Into a large bowl, pour the dry ingredients, and fold to mix.
Step 5: Mix the batter until just combined., then pour it into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading the batter into an even layer. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and take the cake from the pan using the overhang on the sides.
Step 6: On a large wood cutting board, lay the cake, then gently roll it lengthwise. Very carefully place the cake on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Filling:
Step 7: In a medium bowl, whisk the confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
