Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Cream cheese frosting for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan.
- Prepare the Carrot Cake Layer: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another bowl, mix oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then fold in the grated carrots and nuts if using.
- Bake the Carrot Cake Layer: Pour the carrot cake batter into the prepared pie pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, eggs, and sour cream, mixing until well combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled carrot cake layer in the pie pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the Cheesecake Layer: Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Top with cream cheese frosting if desired before serving.
