Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

Carrot Cake:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ cup butter, at room temperature

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • ¼ cup plain yogurt

  • 1 cup packed finely grated carrots

Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey

  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

  2. Sift 1 1/4 cup flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and baking soda together in a bowl.

  3. Combine butter and brown sugar in a bowl; beat together with an electric mixer on low until light and fluffy. Whisk in eggs and yogurt; beat in carrots until well mixed. Add flour mixture gradually with the electric mixer until batter is combined.

  4. Beat cream cheese, white sugar, egg, 3 tablespoons flour, bourbon, and orange zest together in a bowl.

  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan; spread with a spatula until even. Spoon cream cheese mixture onto the batter; smooth with the back of the spoon until even. Pour remaining batter onto the cream cheese mixture.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
