Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
-
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
-
Pour half of the carrot cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top. Swirl the cream cheese into the batter using a knife or toothpick.
-
Pour the remaining carrot cake batter over the cream cheese layer. Swirl again to create a marbled effect.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the bars to cool in the baking dish for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Cut into bars and serve.
