Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch (12-cup) fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
- Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, allspice, and ginger in a medium bowl.
- Beat sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until slightly lightened in color. Add carrots and stir to coat. Fold in dry ingredients with a rubber spatula or large spoon until just barely combined with some small clumps; don't use a hand mixer. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer pan to a cooling rack and let cool, right-side up, for 15 minutes. Invert pan onto a plate and gently tap to remove the cake. Let cool completely.
- While cake is cooling, whisk butter, orange juice, orange zest, and bourbon together in a small saucepan over medium heat for glaze until boiling. Boil to fuse flavors, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar, a small amount at a time, whisking until smooth before adding more. When glaze is at your desired consistency, liberally spoon over mostly-cooled cake.

Steps:
- Cut a 1-inch chunk off one end of a carrot at an angle. Roll the carrot a quarter turn and cut another 1-inch chunk at an angle. Continue rolling and cutting all of the carrots into 1-inch chunks. Combine the carrots and orange juice in a large saucepan. Add enough water to just cover the carrots. Add the butter and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze, about 20 minutes. Top with the dill and serve.
GLAZED CARROTS WITH ORANGE AND GINGER
When carrots are cooked, it's often a sad affair. They are boiled to death and presented almost as an apology. Yet when they're treated with the respect they deserve, even ordinary supermarket carrots can be among the most reliable and enjoyable of vegetables, especially from fall through spring. This braise-and-glaze technique can be varied at will and can also be used with other roots, like beets, turnips and radishes. Once you have the hang of the technique, changing the flavorings is a snap. Try substituting a mixture of half balsamic vinegar, half water or soy sauce similarly diluted for the orange juice, adding a few cloves of peeled garlic with the carrots. Or add a half cup or so of chopped onions, shallots, scallions or leeks, or of chopped pitted dates or raisins, dried currants or even dried tomatoes.
