Carrot Cake:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Cream Cheese Filling:

1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

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.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
