This Dessert Definitely Will Blow Your Mind!
Karina has some real killer cake recipes, and this one is next on my list to make for my gal pals’ brunch. First of all, just what is this strange-looking hybrid dessert? Only two of my most favorite desserts in the world: carrot cake and cheesecake, all stacked up together in one clever package.
You know that cream cheese frosting that normally tops off a carrot cake? That one that you just cannot resist taking a swipe of with your finger? Well, picture that on steroids and you will be getting the idea of the flavors, and textures, combined in this dessert. And that frosting? Yep, it’s still there, slathered on top of the cheesecake layer. My eyes are rolling back in my head at the mere thought of it!
With the combination of the carrot cake and the cheesecake layers in this spectacular dessert, you get a finished product that is both light and fluffy and super dense and moist, all at the same time. I have never known a dessert to be capable of possessing both of these qualities, simultaneously.
You might think that the inclusion of the frosting is a bit of overkill, but go ahead and include it anyway. There is enough difference between the light lemony taste of the cheesecake and the creaminess of the frosting to make it noteworthy.

Quick Tip: Since this dessert is so decadent already, the garnish doesn’t need to be flamboyant. A simple ring of chopped nuts around the outer edge of the top would make a nice presentation. To do it, invert a lightweight plastic bowl on top of the icing right in the center of the cake. Now sprinkle the nuts between the edge of the bowl and the edge of the cake. Slip a knife under the edge of the bowl and carefully lift it up, smoothing out any damaged icing.
