Carrot Cake Roll

The most delicious carrot cake roll with cream cheese frosting.

While baking the cake, check it with a toothpick after 15 minutes and continue to bake if it needs. I use black tea, it can be replaced with the same amount of warm water or milk.

 I use 4 small eggs, if your eggs are larger then you can use 3. Instead of wheat starch, you can also use corn starch.

If you can't find powdered whipped cream, you can replace it with a 50 gr. (2 oz.) butter at room temperature or 75 gr. (2.5 oz.) melted white chocolate. I use just ground cinnamon in the cake mixture, if you like you can add nutmeg also.

- 50 gr. (2 oz.) Whipped Cream Powder


 Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180 C (355 F) and prepare a baking dish lined with parchment paper. (I use 30.0 cm. x 40.0 cm. (12 in. x 16 in.) rectangular baking dish.)
2. In separate bowls, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy and egg yolks with sugar. (In this step use a hand mixer.)
3. Add warm tea step by step over the egg yolk mixture while beating with a hand mixer.
4. In a medium bowl, mix flour, starch, baking powder and cinnamon.
5. Add flour mixture over the egg yolk mixture and beat until combined.
6. Add egg whites in three steps to the mixture and mix with rubber spatula gently.
7. Add grated carrots and vanilla extract and mix gently with a rubber spatula.
8. Pour cake mixture into the baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake about 12-18 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
9. Meantime, take a medium mixing bowl. Beat heavy cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar and whipped cream powder until thickened. Cover it with plastic wrap and chill until cake bakes.
10. Remove cake from the oven and let it sit about 3 minutes. Then roll it up with a parchment paper and wait about 20 minutes.
11. Open the cake and spread cream cheese frosting over the cake. Roll it up and refrigerate about 2 hours before serving.
12. Decorate with remaining frosting and serve. Enjoy.
