Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- For the cheesecake filling, beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in sugar, sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
- For the carrot cake layer, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. In another bowl, mix oil and sugars together before adding grated carrots and eggs. Combine wet and dry ingredients.
- Layer half the carrot cake batter in the pan followed by half the cheesecake filling. Repeat to create swirls using a knife.
- Bake for about 55 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Let cool in the oven with the door ajar for an hour before chilling in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.
