Ingredients

For the Carrot Roll Cake

• 2 Label Rouge Sables carrots (washed and peeled)
• 4 eggs (separated)
• 100g granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 100g all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder

For the Cream Cheese Filling

• 120g unsalted butter (softened)
• 300g cream cheese (softened)
• 120g powdered sugar
• Seeds from 1 vanilla pod

For Decoration

• 50g crushed pecans
• Small slices of Label Rouge Sables carrots (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F).
2. Prepare the Carrots: Wash, peel, and grate the Label Rouge Sables carrots.
3. Separate and Beat Eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
4. Mix the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale. Add the grated carrots, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix well. Fold in the flour and baking powder, then gently incorporate the beaten egg whites in batches.
5. Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake is golden and springs back when touched. Let it cool completely.
6. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, whip the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla seeds, mixing until well combined.
7. Assemble the Roll: Spread 2/3 of the cream cheese filling over the cooled cake. Carefully roll the cake widthwise, starting from one short side. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
8. Decorate and Serve: Trim the edges of the roll for a neat appearance. Spread the remaining cream cheese filling on top and sprinkle with crushed pecans and carrot slices for a festive touch. Slice and serve chilled.
