Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups grated carrots (about 4 medium carrots)

- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake filling)
- 1 large egg (for cheesecake filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and walnuts if using.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Pour half of the carrot cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling over the batter, then top with the remaining carrot cake batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a sweeter twist, drizzle a cream cheese glaze over the cooled cake made from mixing powdered sugar with a little milk and vanilla.
- For a healthier option, substitute half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce.
