Notes

Jelly roll pans come in slightly different sizes but are generally 10x15 inches (25x38cm) or 11x17 inches (28x43cm) with a 1-inch (2 ½ cm) high rim. You will need two for this recipe: one to bake this cheesecake and one more for flipping the cake over.
Be sure to use the tiny grates of your box grater. You really need to get the carrots nice and delicate, so they disappear into the cake, and you don't have lumps of carrots.
When rolling this cake, make sure to do it while it is still warm so the cake doesn’t crack. Also, always take your time and start with a nice, tight roll so you don’t end up with a hole in the middle when you slice it.
For the best, neatest results, slice the pumpkin roll with a serrated knife.
If you don’t want to roll the cake, you can stack it instead. First, let the cake cool completely. Then, cut the cake in half in both directions to create four equally sized rectangles. Stack these on top of each other so that the layers alternate between carrot cake and cheesecake. Cover and let chill completely before dusting in powdered sugar, slicing, and serving.
Experiment with different flavor combinations! This cake is lightly spiced, but you can double the spices if you prefer a ‘Bolder’ flavor. You can also add ingredients like finely chopped walnuts, a little diced pineapple, orange zest, or shredded coconut to the cake batter before baking.
