Time 1h47m

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup all-purpose flour (98 grams)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (6 grams)
3 large eggs (at room temperature)
2/3 cup granulated sugar (134 grams)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 grams)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ¾ cups finely grated carrots (230 grams)
Powdered sugar for dusting
8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
5 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 grams)
2 cups powdered sugar (203 grams)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan (or cookie sheet with a raised edge) with parchment paper. Allow the parchment paper to come at least 1 inch above the sides of the pan for easy lifting the finished cake from the pan. Spray the parchment paper in the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle a large, clean kitchen towel very generously with powdered sugar (use at least ½ cup). Set aside for as soon as the cake is out of the oven.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla for 1 minute at high speed.
  • Add the vegetable oil and mix just until combined.
  • Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir gently just until combined.
  • Fold in the grated carrots.
  • Spread the cake batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading all the way to the edges. Bake for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (do not under bake).
  • As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, turn the cake out of the pan onto the sugared towel. Peel away the parchment paper carefully.
  • Immediatelty fold the end of the towel over one of the short ends of the cake. Roll the cake up into the towel, starting at the short end. Set the cake aside to cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
  • While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar and mix on low speed until combined and the frosting is creamy.
  • Very gently, unroll the cooled cake roll and be sure it is fully released from the towel. Spread the frosting onto the cake, edge to edge. Re-roll the cake gently. Transfer the cake roll to a plate, seam side down.
  • Chill the cake roll in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Canning and Preserving Recipes     Jams and Jellies Recipes

Time 12h56m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened crushed pineapple in 100% pineapple juice
1 ½ cups chopped peeled ripe pears
1 ½ cups shredded carrots
½ cup flaked coconut
½ cup raisins
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
6 ½ cups white sugar

Steps:

  • Place crushed pineapple with juice, pears, carrots, flaked coconut, raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a large pot over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until pears are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat and stir in pectin. Return to heat and bring to a full rolling boil, stirring frequently. Pour in sugar and bring back to a full boil. Cook jam for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim foam off the top.
  • Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims to remove any excess residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large pot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water 2 inches apart using a holder. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the pot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart; cool undisturbed, at least 12 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger to ensure that the seal is tight. Store in a cool, dark area.

CARROT CAKE JELLY ROLL

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. For the cake: Grease a 13-by-18-inch sheet pan with butter, line bottom of the pan with parchment paper and generously butter and flour the paper.In a small bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, and salt and stir to combine. Place the eggs and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until light, thick and pale, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the carrot, then slowly add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake until the top springs back when gently touched, about 15 minutes.While the cake is baking, lay a clean, thin cotton dish towel out on a flat surface and sift 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar evenly over it. (This will prevent the cake from sticking to the towel.) As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, loosen it around the edges and invert it squarely onto the prepared towel. Peel away the parchment paper. Starting at one of the short ends, gently roll the warm cake and the towel together. Allow the rolled cake to cool completely on a wire rack.For the candied carrots: Combine the grated carrot, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often, and cook until the carrots are bright orange, glossy and almost dry, about 12 minutes. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon and let cool. (The candied carrots will be in clumps.)For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter and salt together with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined and smooth, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the confectioners¿ sugar, vanilla and 1 teaspoon milk. Continue to beat until completely combined, about 2 minutes. (If needed add the second teaspoon of milk, the mixture should be fluffy not runny.) Increase the speed to high and beat until fluffy, about 4 minutes more.To assemble: Place 1/2 cup of the frosting in a small bowl and set aside. Carefully unroll the cake onto a cutting board with the towel underneath. Using a small offset spatula, spread half the frosting evenly over the cake. Sprinkle the frosting evenly with walnuts, raisins and golden raisins, making sure to go all the way to the edges. Disperse teaspoons of candied carrots across the frosting. Carefully reroll the cake, using the towel as a guide. Place the cake roll on a platter. Frost the sides and ends of the cake with the remaining frosting and press shredded coconut all over the surface.Combine the reserved 1/2 cup frosting with 2 to 4 drops orange food coloring and mix well. Transfer the tinted frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a small plain tip. Pipe 12 carrots evenly down the center of the cake roll and top each with a small piece of reserved carrot frond. Place the cake in the refrigerator until fully chilled, about 2 hours.Source: foodnetwork.comRecipe formatted with the Cook'n Recipe Software from DVO Enterprises.

Make sure the pan is greased and lined with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake. - **Temperature Matters**: Preheat your oven to the correct temperature as specified in the recipe. An accurate oven temperature is crucial for proper baking. - **Filling Consistency**: The cream cheese filling should be thick and spreadable. If it's too runny, chill it for a bit longer.

Use a clean kitchen towel to help you roll the cake evenly. - **Chill Thoroughly**: After rolling, wrap the cake roll in plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will help the cake set and make it easier to slice. - **Decorate as Desired**: Before serving, decorate the cake roll with powdered sugar, frosting, or your favorite toppings.
