Skinny Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

March 30, 2018 Amanda Plott

Just in time for Easter! This morning I woke up with a Spring in my step (pun intended) and just had to make this Skinny Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling. I based the recipe loosely on the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll that I make in the fall. But, there's not ever a bad time for a cream cheese roll, in my opinion.

I kept this recipe pretty simple, using a boxed cake mix with a few add-ins to beef it up a bit. I kept it light with my usual swaps ins for a cake mix and even used a handy new powdered sugar replacement in the cream cheese filling.

Spring is upon us here in Austin Texas, which for me means entertaining friends and family... and also means it's time for deviled eggs. Not just any deviled eggs though, we're talking fully loaded in a way that I never really thought of before. These Bacon & Cheddar 'Fully Loaded' Deviled Eggs are perfectly simple to make and YES... are as fully loaded as they can come; with bacon, greek yogurt, green onions and even their fair share of cheddar!

Deviled eggs are a go-to appetizer or snack for me anytime I'm playing hostess. Why? The reasoning is simple, just as simple as they are to make! The ease of making deviled eggs is what puts them at the top of my list; boil eggs, mix, fill and chill! That's all there is to it. Plus this 'fully loaded' version takes the classic up a notch (or several) for one beautiful bite of deliciousness!...

Who's ready for Spring? I know that I am! I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it a million and one times more, but Spring has to be my favorite season! The sun is changing, the light is changing, the air smells and feels different, and I'm always in awe of the flowers and greenery as it starts to return to life.

What better way is there to celebrate anything (especially Spring) other than with cake?! So today we're going to cheer on Spring with some adorable Chocolate 'Carrot Patch' Cupcakes! These little darlings couldn't be sweeter; with their carrot colored chocolate covered strawberries and cookie/cake crumbles, they look just like a fresh carrot patch!...
