Description

A delightful fusion dessert combining the moist goodness of carrot cake with the creamy richness of cheesecake.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 12 oz sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8″ round cake pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugars until creamy. Mix in the vanilla, oil, and orange zest.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, spices, and salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Fold in the shredded carrots and raisins.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely.
  5. Prepare a 9″ springform pan with spray. Layer half of the cooled carrot cake into the bottom of the springform pan.
  6. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the sugar, sour cream, eggs, and the vanilla extract.
  7. Pour 3/4 of the cheesecake filling over the carrot cake in the springform pan. Add the remaining carrot cake, pressing it down slightly, and pour the rest of the cheesecake filling on top.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes until the center jiggles slightly. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.

Notes

For best flavor and texture, serve chilled. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or candied carrots if desired.
