This isn't your grandmother's carrot cake (or maybe it is?). The carrot-packed cake has a hint of bourbon in the batter and even the glaze gets in on the boozy action by adding a little more bourbon to the drizzle.

  1. charlesD REVIEW:

    The recipe calls for oven at 325 degrees for 40 minutes. I found this to end up nearly soupy. I Changed the heat to 350 degrees for 1 hour. It came out EXCELLENT. I took one to my weekly card game and the guys went wild for it. Because of a lot of sugar in the glaze, I don't do the glaze.
