Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups shredded carrots
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup crushed pineapple, undrained
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 to 4 tablespoons milk or heavy whipping cream
Additional pecans, for garnish, as desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350° F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray, or grease with butter and lightly flour.
  • In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add shredded carrots; toss to coat. In medium bowl, beat brown sugar, pineapple, 4 eggs, vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until combined. Stir in chopped pecans.
  • In medium bowl, beat Cream Cheese Swirl ingredients with whisk until smooth.
  • Pour half of the cake batter in pan. Spoon cream cheese mixture on top, leaving 1 inch around edges. Spoon remaining cake batter on top.
  • Bake about 60 minutes or until cake springs back when gently pressed. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then remove to cooling rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and enough milk to make a thick but pourable glaze. Gently pour over cooled cake; top with pecans. Let stand 30 minutes for frosting to set before serving.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The carrot cake was moist and flavorful, and the cheesecake swirl was creamy and rich. I think I would try using less sugar next time.
