Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by buttering it generously.
  • In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the eggs one by one, mixing in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully blended.
  • In a new bowl, whisk together baking soda, baking powder, flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In another bowl, mix canola oil, applesauce, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the grated carrots.
  • Layer the mixtures in the springform pan, spooning in the carrot cake mixture, followed by dollops of the cheesecake mixture.
  • Repeat the layers until all mixtures are used, creating a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 60-65 minutes. Allow to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  • Whip topping ingredients until fluffy and spread over the chilled cheesecake.

Notes

Optionally drizzle with caramel sauce for added sweetness. Adjust spices as preferred and ensure no air bubbles remain.
