Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 eggs
2/3 cup oil
1 cup canned pumpkin pie mix
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 box moist spice cake mix
1 box moist yellow cake mix
Yellow food coloring

1 pound powdered sugar
1/3 cup orange juice, no pulp
3 teaspoons orange liqueur

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter and flour a 12-cup bundt cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, oil, pie mix, water, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until well blended. Add the cake mixes and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups white sugar
4 large eggs
¾ 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
½ large orange, finely zested
1 ounce bourbon whiskey, or more to taste
1 cup powdered sugar

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.
