Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • ½ cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, then fold in the grated carrots and crushed pineapple. If using, stir in the nuts.
  6. Pour the carrot cake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool slightly before preparing the cheesecake layer.
  7. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and flour until just incorporated.
  8. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled carrot cake layer, smoothing it out evenly. Bake for an additional 40-45 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an hour to cool gradually.
  9. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture. When ready to serve, carefully remove the springform pan and slice into pieces.
