Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

Mix flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Pour in egg mixture; mix until it comes together. Spread batter on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 4

Run a spatula under the cake to loosen from the parchment paper. Grab the paper from one end and start rolling, pulling the paper away as you do. Roll up and refrigerate for 1 hour before cutting.

Step 5

To make the cake: Beat eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl until lighter in color; add carrot and pineapple.
