Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Carrot Cake Layer:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup finely grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • For the Cheesecake Layer:
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Frosting (Optional but Delicious):
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper on the bottom.
  2. Make the Carrot Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the brown and granulated sugar until light and frothy. Slowly whisk in the oil. Fold in the dry ingredients, followed by the grated carrots and nuts (if using). Spread the carrot cake batter evenly into the prepared springform pan.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until creamy with no lumps. Pour the cheesecake batter gently over the carrot cake batter.
  4. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are lightly golden. Let it cool completely in the pan, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Add the Cream Cheese Frosting: Once chilled, prepare the frosting by beating the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Spread a thin layer on top of the cake or pipe decoratively.

Notes

  • This carrot cake cheesecake can be made 1–2 days ahead and stored in the fridge.
  • It freezes well for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
  • For smooth texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened.
  • Chilling is essential for the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Use freshly grated carrots for best flavor and moisture.
  • For nut-free, omit nuts.
  • Use a hot knife for clean slices.
