Directions

  1. Combine carrots and 1 teaspoon sugar in a saucepan, add water to cover. Cover the pan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until fork tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain carrots, mash with a fork, and set aside to cool.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two 10x15-inch baking pans and line with parchment paper. Lightly grease parchment paper and dust with flour.

  3. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

  4. Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 to 7 minutes. Beat in 2 cups white sugar until thick. Mix in mashed carrots and vanilla extract. Fold in flour mixture. Spread batter into the prepared baking pans and sprinkle with walnuts.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until top springs back when lightly touched, 10 to 12 minutes.

  6. While cakes are baking, dust 2 linen towels with confectioners' sugar.

  7. Remove cakes from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert each cake carefully onto the sugar-dusted towels. Peel off parchment paper and roll cakes up in the towels to cool.

  8. Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, butter, caramel topping, and vanilla extract for the frosting in a large bowl, beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in confectioners' sugar until fluffy.

  9. Carefully unroll cakes and spread filling to 1 inch from the edges. Roll up cakes, cover, and chill until serving.
