Carrot Ginger Tea Cake With Lime Glaze

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Butter an 8-in. square pan, line bottom with parchment paper, and butter it. Flour inside of pan, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, the oil, carrot juice, eggs, and fresh ginger until combined. Add flour mixture and whisk just until smooth. Stir in carrots and scrape batter into pan.

3. 3

   Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cake cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes. Run a paring knife around edges to loosen, then turn out onto rack. Turn right side up and let cool completely, at least 1 3/4 hours.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar, lime zest, and 1 tbsp. lime juice until smooth. Add more lime juice (about 1 tsp.) for a thick, flowing texture. Drizzle over cake.

5. 5

   Make ahead: Through step 3, up to 1 day at room temperature or 1 month frozen (let cool, then wrap well).
