Method
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced) and lightly grease and line the base and sides of cake pans.
Prepare brownie mix and carrot cake mix as directed on pack. Pour each of the mixes into prepared cake pans and bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
Allow baked brownie and cake to sit in pans for 15 minutes prior to inverting onto cooling rack to cool completely.
Place cream cheese and butter into a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix until combined and creamy. Add vanilla extract, contents of Carrot Cake Icing mix and icing mixture. Mix on low speed until combined then increase to medium speed for 1-2 minutes or until icing is thick and smooth.
Slice cooled carrot cake in half horizontally, to create two even layers and place the base onto a serving plate. Spread 1 cup of prepared cream cheese icing mix over the base of carrot cake and spread to the edges. Top with brownie layer, top side down and repeat. Top with carrot cake layer and spread remaining icing over top and sides of cake.
Decorate top of the cake with glacé (or fresh) cherries.

A good recipe for grandchildren helpers, though we changed the decorations so all could do a bit. It didn’t last long in our family of seven. Loved it, thank you.

I used orange and poppy seed cake instead of carrot cake. It was delicious but even better the second day when the brownie layer had softened.
I imagine it would work well with other types of cake as well… banana, strawberry.
Don Brown Great idea made it ate it and now have to get another one ready for the Grand tikes for Christmas Day Have a sweet tooth or two
