Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare the cheesecake layer by mixing softened cream cheese with sugar, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, and heavy whipping cream until smooth. Add eggs one at a time.
Pour the mixture into a greased springform pan and bake for about 45 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely.
For the spice cake layer, mix flour, baking powder, spices, butter, brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, egg, and milk until combined. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes.
Assemble by layering half of the spice cake batter in a round pan, placing the cooled cheesecake on top, then covering with remaining batter before baking again.
Prepare frosting by beating softened butter with powdered sugar and vanilla; add cream until fluffy.
Frost cooled Piecaken generously and decorate as desired.
