Instructions:
Making the Carrot Cake Roll:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray or coconut oil. Line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the longer sides for easy rolling later.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated erythritol (or your chosen keto-friendly sweetener) until well combined and slightly frothy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Stir in the grated carrots and vanilla extract, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the carrot cake batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake is set and springs back when gently touched.
Preparing the Cream Cheese Filling:

- While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened unsalted butter, powdered erythritol (or your chosen keto-friendly sweetener), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Rolling the Cake:
- Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes.
- Lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and sprinkle it lightly with powdered erythritol or coconut flour.
- Carefully invert the warm cake onto the prepared towel, gently peeling off the parchment paper.
- Starting at one of the shorter ends, carefully roll the cake up with the towel, creating a spiral. Let it cool completely while rolled.
Assembling the Cake Roll:
- Once the cake has cooled, carefully unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel, starting at the same shorter end.
Serving:
- Trim the edges for a clean look, if desired. Slice and serve your Keto Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling.
