Carrot Roll with Cream Cheese Frosting

This should fit into your "5 a day" plan because it has got carrots in it. So basically it's healthy, right? And also tasty :-) There is really no magic to it and I bet you have all the ingredients at home. Simple tastes are the most effective as you will find out.

You'll need:

batter

• 150g shredded carrots
• 100g flour
• 130g sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tea spoon vanilla extract
• 2 tea spoons cinnamon powder
• 1/2 tea spoon ground nutmeg
• 2 table spoons sunflower oil
• 1 tea spoon baking powder
• 1/2 tea spoon salt

filling

• 200g cream cheese
• 200ml heavy cream
• 60g sugar
• 1 tea spoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 tea spoon cinnamon

1) Beat the eggs with sugar, salt and vanilla till light and fluffy. 

2) Stir in the carrots and start adding the dry ingredients. Once it's incorporated well, you may put it in the oven at 180°C for about 10 minutes.

3) Have a tea towel ready - when you take it out, put it on the towel, get rid of your baking paper (if you used any) and roll it in the towel. Let cool down.

4) In separate bowls, beat the heavy cream and cream cheese with the rest of the ingredients. Stir the beaten heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture slowly. 

5) Unroll the roll and spread the cream inside and roll back. If any cracks appear, just cover the top with either a little bit of the cream or icing sugar.
