Carrot Cake Roll

I love cake rolls because they look super fancy and fun, but they're no more hard to make than your average cake.  This tasty, moist spiced Carrot Cake Roll filled with creamy cream cheese frosting is a perfect Spring recipe or a delicious recipe to take to your Easter potluck.

The trick to making a perfect cake roll is to actually roll it up while it's still very hot so that it stays that way without cracking, even after you've filled it with frosting. Be sure to follow the directions carefully for your own perfect Carrot Cake Roll.
