For an extra touch of flavor, toast the shredded carrots lightly in a dry skillet before adding them to the batter. If you don't have bourbon on hand, you can substitute it with orange extract or leave it out altogether. Garnish the glazed cake with extra orange zest for a pop of color and flavor.

Jun 29, 2025My cake stuck to the pan, even though I greased and floured it. Next time, I'll use baking spray with flour.

Jun 24, 2025I found the cake a little too sweet, so I reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup, and it was perfect!
