Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. For the carrot cake layer, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in one bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs with sugars, oil, and vanilla; then mix in the dry ingredients followed by shredded carrots.
  3. For the cheesecake layer, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and flour; mix well before incorporating eggs one at a time and finally stirring in sour cream.
  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the carrot cake base in the springform pan.
  5. Bake for 50–60 minutes until just set with a slight jiggle in the center. Let cool gradually in the oven for about 30 minutes before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
