Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining with parchment paper and greasing the sides.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another bowl, mix grated carrots, eggs, and vanilla extract until blended. Fold wet ingredients into dry until just combined.
  3. Beat together cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Incorporate eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Spoon dollops of carrot cake batter into the pan, alternating with cheesecake batter to create a marbled effect.
  5. Cover the pan loosely with foil and bake for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness.

  7. Spread cream cheese frosting over the top, sprinkle with chopped pecans, slice, and serve.
