Them start the cake batter by combining 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup canola oil, 4 large eggs, 2 cups AP flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp cinnamon, 2 cups shredded carrots and 1 cup chopped pecans in a large bowl.

Next fill the bottom of the sprayed Bundt pan with ¾ of the cake batter. Set aside the rest of the batter for later.
At this time make the cheesecake filling, beat 8 oz cream cheese with⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla and 1 egg until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Bake cake for 60-65 minutes. Cake will be browned and will pull away from pan when done.
Remove from oven and cool 5-10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack. Cool completely before frosting.
While the cake cools, make the frosting by beating 4 oz cream cheese, 3 tbsp milk and 2 cups powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
