Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 14 servings

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Carrot Cake:

  • 1 ¾ cups white sugar

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 3 large eggs

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 4 cups shredded carrots

Frosting:

  • 1 (16 ounce) container cream cheese frosting, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).

  2. Prepare cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth; set aside.

  3. Prepare carrot cake: Beat sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; add carrots and blend in with a wooden spoon. (It may appear dry at first but will soften as you stir.)

  4. Pour 1/2 of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Pour in cheesecake batter to form a ring in the center of the cake batter; do not touch the outer or inner edges of the pan. Pour remaining cake batter over top.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes, then frost with cream cheese frosting.
