How to Make Carrot Cake Roulage
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pans. Line with parchment paper, ensuring it extends over the edges for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer for 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add water, beating on low speed until just combined.
- Gradually add the cake mix, beating on low speed until moistened.
- Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 2 minutes.
- Gently fold in the grated carrots.
- Evenly divide the batter between the prepared pans.
- Bake one pan at a time on the middle rack for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should spring back lightly when touched.
- While cakes bake, sift 1 1/2 tablespoons of powdered sugar onto two separate 15x10-inch rectangles of clean kitchen towels.
- Immediately upon removing cakes from the oven, loosen the edges with a spatula and invert each cake onto a sugared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting at the narrow end, tightly roll each cake with the towel, jelly roll style.
- Place seam-side down on wire racks to cool completely.
- Drain the crushed pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. Gently press the pineapple between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained pineapple, cream cheese frosting, and pecans. Mix well.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, carefully unroll each one.
- Brush each cake lightly with 2 tablespoons of reserved pineapple juice.
- Spread half of the frosting mixture evenly over each cake.
- Reroll the cakes and place seam-side down on a serving platter.
- Cover and chill for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, dust with additional powdered sugar and garnish with extra chopped pecans, if desired.
