Recipe video above. Perfect for a party, this combines two holiday favorites into one - a carrot Bundt cake with creamy cheesecake inside! A combination that everybody adores. Inspired by a cake spied on my friend Jennifer Sabin Sattley’s website, Carlsbad Cravings (love!).You will need 2 full blocks of cream cheese for this recipe. Take care with the glaze thickness - keep it thick so it blankets the cake generously. Not the usual thin see-through glaze. Feel so cheated!
