# Directions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare a 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan by greasing lightly and lining with parchment paper, allowing some parchment to hang over the sides.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and granulated sugar until combined. Add vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and shredded carrots, whisking until smooth.
04 -
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
05 -
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes.
06 -
Carefully transfer the baked cake onto a clean tea towel using the parchment paper. Remove the parchment paper, and roll the cake lengthwise with the tea towel into a tight log shape. Cool completely on a wire rack.
07 -
In a medium bowl, whisk softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Slowly add confectioners sugar and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
08 -
Gently unroll the cooled cake and evenly spread the cream cheese frosting, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges. Re-roll the cake and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
09 -
Mix the glaze ingredients in a bowl. Remove the cake from the refrigerator, drizzle with the glaze, and slice for serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure the cake is completely cool before adding the frosting to avoid melting.
02 -
Using a tea towel helps prevent cracking when rolling the cake.
