Ingredients

For the Carrot Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated carrots (about 3 medium carrots)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

For the Glaze (Optional):

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven & Prepare Bundt Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan, or use a non-stick Bundt pan. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Carrot Cake Batter

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until smooth. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  • Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  • In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Stir in the flour and mix until the cheesecake filling is smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

  • Pour about half of the carrot cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Spoon the cheesecake filling into the center of the batter, creating a ring of filling around the middle of the pan.
  • Cover the cheesecake filling with the remaining carrot cake batter, spreading it evenly over the top.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (without any cheesecake filling).
  • If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking until done.

Step 6: Cool & Glaze

  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy

  • Slice and serve this decadent cheesecake-stuffed carrot Bundt cake. Serve on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.

Notes

Chocolate Carrot Cake: Add a handful of chocolate chips to the carrot cake batter for extra indulgence.
✅ Spiced Nuts: Use spiced walnuts or pecans for a flavorful twist.
✅ Frosting: Instead of a glaze, top with cream cheese frosting for an even richer dessert.
