This is a dessert mash-up made in heaven. Moist spiced carrot cake is layered with a creamy biscoff no-bake cheesecake then topped off with more biscoff spread, lotus biscuits and pecans.

You know those things you eat and dream about years later? The carrot cake cheesecake hybrid I ate at a place in New York called Martha’s Country Kitchen was one of those things.
Ever since trying this delectable cake combination, I’ve wanted to recreate it. With Easter coming up, I decided it was the perfect excuse to do so. Of course, I wanted to add something to make it extra special. I figured I was already combining two of my favourite things- carrot cake and cheesecake. So why not add in a third? Cue the addition of the glorious caramelized lotus biscuit spread that is biscoff.
Hence, the biscoff carrot cake cheesecake was born.
I am very pleased to report that this lotus biscuit cake turned out EVEN better than I anticipated. The cake got thoroughly devoured by my family. It even earned high praise from my 7-year-old fussy niece. To quote her, “Wow, this is delightful”!

How to make Biscoff Carrot Cake Cheesecake
Biscoff cheesecake layer:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, biscoff spread and vanilla extract with an electric beater until combined. Add in the double cream and sour cream and beat on a slow speed until thick and smooth. Pour mixture into a greased 23cm springform pan and place in the fridge for at least 5 hours to set.
Carrot cake layer:
- Preheat oven 175°C and grease and line a 23cm springform baking tin with baking paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
- In a large bowl, whisk together oil, white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk in one egg at a time. Slowly add dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients, gently stirring to combine. Fold in carrots, orange zest, pineapple, pecans and raisins.
- Pour batter into prepared baking tin. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the centre. Leave to cool in tin for 15 minutes, then remove cake from tin and allow to cool completely.
To assemble:
- To assemble the biscoff carrot cake cheesecake, remove the sides from the springform tin of the cheesecake. Very gently tip the cheesecake upside down onto the cooled carrot cake. Use a spatula to smooth out the sides. Top with melted biscoff spread, crushed lotus biscuits and pecans.
