CARROT CHEESECAKE



Carrot Cheesecake image

My family loves this creamy make-ahead dessert. Unlike traditional cheesecake, I sprinkle a streusel topping over the filling. It needs to be refrigerated overnight and is well worth the wait. -Misty Wellman, Scottsdale, Arizona

CARROT CAKE-CHEESECAKE



Carrot Cake-Cheesecake image

Most people would agree that the cream cheese frosting is the best part of any carrot cake, so it makes perfect sense to replace it with a thick layer of creamy cheesecake. These two classic cakes make one showstopping mash-up dessert.

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup pecan halves, plus more, chopped, for garnish
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Kosher salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups shredded carrot (2 to 3 medium carrots)
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the carrot cake: Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread 1/2 cup of the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden and toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool, and then finely chop.
  • Combine the pecans, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the oil, sugar and eggs in a separate bowl. Stir the carrots into the egg mixture. Fold the carrot-egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Pour into an ungreased 9-inch springform cake pan and tap it on the counter to even out the batter. Bake until the cake bounces back when pressed and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely. The cake can be made a day ahead and stored in the pan.
  • For the cheesecake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the cream cheese, sour cream and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the flour, lemon zest and juice and vanilla, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over the carrot cake. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with a large piece of foil. Put in a roasting pan or a large baking dish and fill halfway up the sides of the cake pan with water. Bake until the cheesecake is pale yellow and just jiggles slightly in the center, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest in the hot oven for 30 minutes. Remove, run a sharp knife around the edge and let cool completely on a rack. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
  • For the sour cream topping: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, sour cream, vanilla and salt. Spread on top of the cheesecake; garnish with chopped pecans. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Cut into slices and serve.

Time 1h55m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups carrot, hand-grated
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup raisin
1 cup crushed pineapple, canned
1 cup unsalted butter, (2 sticks) room temperature
12 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups walnuts, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease 3 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
  • Grate the carrots on the small holes of a box grater. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together 2½ cups (310 G) of flour, the cinnamon, allspice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs together with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until just combined.
  • With the mixer running, gradually pour in the vegetable oil.
  • With the mixer on medium-low speed, add ⅓ of the flour mixture at a time to the wet ingredients. Beat just to incorporate. Stop mixing when there is just a small amount of flour visible.
  • In a small bowl, toss the raisins with the remaining tablespoon of flour.
  • Add the raisin, grated carrots, and pineapple to the batter and fold to incorporate with a rubber spatula.
  • Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a fork inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
  • Cool the cakes on a wire rack until the pans are cool to the touch. Remove the cakes from the pans and let cool completely on the rack.
  • Make the icing: In a large bowl, beat together the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed. Once combined, mix on medium-high speed for 30 seconds, until light and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar, ½ cup (60 G) at a time, beating on medium-low speed to incorporate each addition.
  • Assemble the cake: Check to see if the top of each cake is flat. If not, use a serrated knife level off the cakes.
  • Place 1 cake layer on a serving platter or cake stand. Spoon ¼ of the icing on top and spread in an even layer. Add another layer of cake and spread with another ¼ of the icing. Set the last cake layer on top with the bottom up to ensure a very flat surface. Spread the rest of the icing over the top and sides.
  • Gently press the walnuts into the icing around the sides of the cake.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and grease with butter spray.
  • Make the base carrot cupcake batter: In a food processor, process the carrots until finely chopped.
  • In a large bowl, whip the butter with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated and brown sugars, and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Add the egg mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, beating on medium speed between each addition until fully incorporated.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in thirds, beating on low speed between each addition until incorporated.
  • Add the coconut oil and beat on medium-low speed for 1 minute, until fluffy.

  • Spoon the carrot cupcake batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each a little more than halfway. Tap the muffin tins on the counter to smooth the batter. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the batter, filling each cup ¾ of the way. Bake the cupcakes for 25-27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the lemon vanilla cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, whip together the cream cheese and vanilla extract with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed until smooth. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt, and mix on low speed to incorporate. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To frost, place the tip of the piping bag upright at the center of a cupcake and squeeze until the cupcake is covered with frosting. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes, then garnish the centers with the remaining cup of Fisher Walnuts.
  • Enjoy!
