  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour 10-inch springform pan; set aside. In large bowl combine carrot cake mix, 1 cup water, oil, and 3 of the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Fold in raisins. Pour into pan.
  • In another large bowl beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in granulated sugar and vanilla until smooth. Beat in remaining 3 eggs just until combined. Slowly pour over carrot cake layer. Place cheesecake on baking sheet.
  • Bake for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours or until center is set (top will be uneven and center may fall slightly as it cools). Cool in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes. Using small sharp knife, loosen the cake from the sides of the pan. Cool 30 minutes. Remove sides of pan; cool completely, and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

<img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <br>I am a mother of 3 children, Brent (17), Kaylee (15), and Cole (12). We have a very busy schedule most days so I love finding easy and quick recipes using fresh ingredients. I have been a Girl Scout leader for 10 years. I am a "Vacation Junkie" so I come home from every vacation and start planning the next one! If I don't have a vacation to look forward to then I fall into a deep depression! My new favorite cookbook is "The All New Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook". I'm only about halfway through it but everything looks absolutely YUMMY!!! My dream is to completely renovate my kitchen to be a Gourmet's Delight...you know, granite countertops, big deep sink, top of the line appliances, etc.
