1 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Cheesecake
2 cups cream cheese softened
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
-In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese for 1 minute. Use a hand mixer, or a stand mixer.
-Add both the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the cream cheese. Beat to combine for another minute. Scrape the sides of the both and continue to beat for 30 seconds.

To assemble
-Pour 1/3 of the carrot cake batter on the bottom of the prepared pan.

-Pour the rest of the carrot cake batter, and then finish with the remaining cheesecake batter.
-Bake the cheesecake in the oven for about 50 minutes, until the center is just slightly jiggly, but the edges are set. If the edges are burning but the center is not cooked, cover the pan with foil making sure no foil is touching the top of the cheesecake.
-To prevent the cheesecake from deflating, turn off the oven and prop open the door and leave the cheesecake inside for 20 minutes.
-After removing from the oven, let cool completely before placing in the fridge overnight or for at least 6 hours.
-Don’t remove the ring from the pan until the cheesecake is done chilling in the fridge.

2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans

-Remove from heat.
-Pour the nuts on a baking sheet or parchment paper lined plate. Let them cool down.

3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-Beat the cream cheese and butter with a mixer in a medium bowl for 30 seconds.
