@janellynell4: Honeybun Carrot Cake with Cheesecake Filling Yields: One 9-inch layer cake Prep time: 30 minutes Bake time: 35 minutes Chill time: 4+ hours (for cheesecake layers) Ingredients For the Cheesecake Layers * 16 oz (two 8-oz blocks) cream cheese, softened * 1/2 cup granulated sugar * 2 large eggs * 1 tsp vanilla extract For the Carrot Cake Layers * 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix * 1 cup pineapple juice (replaces water) * 1/2 cup vegetable oil * 4 large eggs * 1 cup grated carrots * 1 tsp cinnamon * 1/2 tsp nutmeg For the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing * 8 oz cream cheese, softened * 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened * 2 cups powdered sugar * 1 tsp vanilla extract * 1 tbsp cinnamon * 2-3 tbsp milk (adjust for "drip" consistency) * Whole pecans for garnish Instructions 1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling * Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. * Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; mix on low until just combined. * Divide batter between the two pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are set but the center slightly jiggles. * Important: Cool completely, then freeze for at least 2 hours (or refrigerate overnight) to make them firm enough to handle during assembly. 2. Bake the Carrot Cake * Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two separate 9-inch cake pans. * In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, pineapple juice, oil, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth. * Fold in the grated carrots. * Divide batter between pans and bake for 28-30 minutes. Cool completely. 3. Make the Icing * Cream together the softened cream cheese and butter. * Gradually add powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. * Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the icing is thick but pourable enough to create "drips." 4. Assembly * Place one carrot cake layer on your plate. * Carefully peel the parchment off a chilled cheesecake layer and place it on top. * Repeat with the second carrot cake layer, followed by the final cheesecake layer. * Pour the icing over the top, letting it run down the sides. Top with whole pecans. #easter #easterfood #dessert #carrotcake #EasyRecipe
