Cheesecake

As you may have noticed I've still not got round to posting any Indian recipes. I've dabbled with introducing Indian spices to my baking before (see Winter Spice & Apple Cinnamon Rolls) and I want to start doing it a lot more. I have had this cheesecake recipe under my belt for a while now but have never found an opportune moment to share it with you. Finally the moment has arrived. It's Diwali! Now for those of you who don't know, Diwali is the Hindu "festival of light". The literal meaning of the word Diwali is row of lamps.

I like carrot cake. However, I do not like it when carrot cake has buttercream icing on top. It MUST be cream cheese icing. Not frosting. We are not American. Anyway, This cake takes that carrot cake with cream cheese topping and makes it a 100x better. At the bottom, you have your regular carrot cake then on top you have a whole cheesecake layer of cream cheesey goodness. Not to sure wether this should be called Carrot Cake Cheesecake or Carrot Cheesecake. Or perhaps, Cheesecake with a carrot cake crust, eh eh eh. Snazzy.
