Although it may seem convenient to buy pre-shredded carrots at the grocery store - I don't recommend doing so. Most prepackaged carrot shreds are too bulky and won't cook down as well. Use a large box grater to get thin, feathery pieces of carrot for this cake.

Step 1

Heat oven to 325ºF.

Beat 2 pkg. cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in medium bowl with mixer until blended. Add 2 eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended.

Combine flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Melt 3/4 cup butter. Drain pineapple, reserving 2 Tbsp. juice for later use.

Step 4

Pour half the carrot cake batter into 9-inch springform pan sprayed with cooking spray; spread to evenly cover the bottom of the pan.
Step 5

Drop large spoonfuls of cream cheese batter and remaining carrot cake batter alternately over batter in pan, being careful to completely cover bottom layer of batter with remaining batters. (If necessary, shake pan gently to evenly distribute spoonfuls of batter to rim of pan.)
