Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it or using parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine oil, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, then mix with dry ingredients.
  4. Fold in shredded carrots gently.
  5. Beat cream cheese until smooth, add in sugar and vanilla, then incorporate egg.
  6. Spread half of the carrot cake batter in the baking dish, layer cheesecake batter, and top with remaining carrot cake batter.
  7. Use a knife to swirl layers together for a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
