Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and all-purpose flour, stirring until blended. Add softened cream cheese and beat until smooth, then mix in eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients for the carrot cake, then combine with wet ingredients. Fold in grated carrots.
  4. Layer the batters in the springform pan.
  5. Bake for 60-65 minutes, tenting with foil after 40 minutes to prevent browning.
  6. Let it cool on a wire rack for 1 hour and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Prepare the topping by whipping together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and sour cream until fluffy.
  8. Remove cheesecake from the pan, spread topping evenly, and garnish with pecans if desired.
  9. Slice and serve chilled.
