Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 16 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 20

CARROT CAKE:
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup pecan halves, toasted
1/2 pound carrots, peeled and finely grated
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
8 large eggs, separated, room temperature
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
BROWNED BUTTER CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
1-1/2 cups unsalted butter, cubed and divided
4 large egg whites
1 cup sugar
Dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 greased 15x10x1-in. baking pans with parchment; grease paper. Set aside. Sift flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves together twice. Place pecans in a food processor; pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl; toss with carrots, fresh ginger and zest., In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add 2/3 cup sugar, beating on high speed until thick and lemon-colored. Fold in flour mixture, then carrot mixture., Place egg whites in another large bowl. With clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold a fourth of the whites into batter, then fold in remaining whites. Transfer to prepared pans, spreading evenly., Bake until golden brown and top springs back when lightly touched, 18-22 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Invert cakes onto tea towels dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Gently peel off paper; trim ends. Roll up cakes in towels jelly-roll style, starting with a short side.

With whisk attachment of stand mixer, beat on high speed until cooled to 90°, about 7 minutes. Using the paddle attachment, gradually beat in remaining 1/2 cup butter, a few tablespoons at a time, on medium speed until smooth. Beat in vanilla and cooled browned butter until smooth; transfer to another bowl. Add cream cheese to mixer bowl, beat until smooth. Gradually add buttercream back to bowl; beat until combined., Unroll cakes; cut each into two 15x5-in. strips. Spread 1 cup frosting on each strip to within 1/2-in. of edges. Refrigerate until frosting is firm, at least 20 minutes., To assemble cake, tightly roll up 1 strip jelly-roll style, starting with a short side, lifting slightly as you roll. Carefully align seam of roll with short side of another strip. Continue to roll, jelly-roll style, adding remaining strips; seal seam. Carefully stand rolled cake on its end on a serving platter.
