How to Make Carrot Cake Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining it with parchment paper and greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Combine the dry ingredients for the Carrot Cake Layers by mixing flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
- Whisk together the wet ingredients in another bowl: eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the grated carrots into the wet mixture, then slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients until just blended.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
- Beat the cream cheese for the Cheesecake Filling until smooth. Add sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
- Spread the cheesecake filling over the cooled carrot cake layer. Bake for another 55-60 minutes, or until set.
- Cool the cheesecake gradually by leaving it in the oven with the door ajar for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Prepare the Frosting by beating together cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Frost the chilled cheesecake right before serving.
