Instructions

  3. In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale.

  5. Gently fold in dry ingredients until just combined.

  9. Unroll cooled cake gently and spread filling evenly.

Notes

  • Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracking.
  • Do not overbake or the sponge will become dry and difficult to roll.
  • Finely grate carrots for a smoother texture.
  • Chill before slicing for clean, neat pieces.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a classic finish.
