Carrot cake with a twist: orange-bourbon glazed.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups white sugar
4 large eggs
0.75 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups lightly packed shredded carrots, drained of excess water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon orange juice
0.5 large orange, finely zested
1 ounce bourbon whiskey, or more to taste
1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10-inch (12-cup) fluted tube pan by greasing and flouring it (such as Bundt®).
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, allspice, and ginger.
In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until slightly lighter in color. Mix in carrots until coated. Gently fold in dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined with some small clumps; avoid using a hand mixer. Transfer batter to the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Invert the pan onto a plate, tap gently to release the cake, then cool completely.
As the cake cools, combine butter, orange juice, orange zest, and bourbon in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil to blend flavors for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze generously over the mostly-cooled cake to your liking.
