# Ingredients:

→ Cake Roll

01 - 3 large eggs
02 - 200 grams granulated sugar
03 - 150 grams canned pumpkin
04 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
05 - 95 grams all-purpose flour
06 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
08 - 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
09 - 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
10 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
11 - 1 cup (about 110 grams) shredded carrots
12 - 30 grams powdered sugar, for dusting

→ Cream Cheese Filling

13 - 225 grams cream cheese, softened
14 - 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
15 - 240 grams powdered sugar
16 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 190°C and line a 25×38 cm jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until well blended. Gradually incorporate granulated sugar, pumpkin purée, and lemon juice, beating until smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
04 - Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in shredded carrots.
05 - Evenly spread batter onto prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cake springs back when pressed gently.
06 - While cake bakes, lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust with powdered sugar for rolling.
07 - Immediately after baking, invert cake onto towel, peel off parchment, and roll up cake with the towel from the short side. Allow to cool completely while rolled.
08 - In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and light.
09 - Carefully unroll cooled cake, spread filling evenly over the surface, and gently roll cake up again without the towel.
10 - Wrap filled roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set before slicing and serving.

# Notes:

01 - Roll cake while warm to prevent cracking.
02 - Dusting the towel with powdered sugar prevents sticking.
03 - Soften cream cheese and butter before mixing for smoother filling.
04 - Chill the roll before slicing to achieve neat, clean slices.
