I have had this carrot cake from a restaurant and it was so good. I also had it at an Italian import store. To get either one of these cheesecake, I had to travel, so I decided to try my knack at it and try to search a way to get it all together. In the end, I think it's as close as it gets. So very yummy and a great twist on traditional cheesecake. (I think I am at war with my camera because sometimes with really good recipes it just doesn't capture it correctly so photo is borrowed from internet, source unknown.)
