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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch (12-cup) fluted tube pan (such as Bundt). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, allspice, and ginger. (3 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate large bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until light and slightly fluffy. Add the shredded carrots and stir to combine. (5 minutes)
04
StepGently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula or large spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay. (5 minutes)
05
StepPour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread evenly. (2 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. (45 minutes)
07
StepLet the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate to cool completely. (15 minutes)
08
StepWhile the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the butter, bourbon, orange juice, and orange zest. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 1 minute. (5 minutes)
09
StepRemove the saucepan from the heat and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until the glaze is smooth and reaches your desired consistency. (3 minutes)
10
StepOnce the cake is completely cool, generously spoon the orange-bourbon glaze over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. (2 minutes)

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!
