CARROT CAKE LOAF (QUICK BREAD)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. See notes for muffins or mini loaves.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, eggs, brown sugar, applesauce, vanilla, and carrots together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until *just* combined. Fold in the nuts/add-in. Batter will be semi-thick.
• Spread the batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55 - 65 minutes. (I like to loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent heavy browning on top.) Baking times vary so keep an eye on yours. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out *mostly* clean with zero raw batter. Remove the bread from the oven.
• Cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack before removing and frosting.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in the butter until combined. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt (I usually add a little less than 1/8 teaspoon), then beat on low speed until smooth and creamy. Taste. Add more cinnamon and/or salt if desired. Frost cooled bread, slice, and serve.
• Cover and store leftover bread at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to about 10 days. Storing with frosting: Cover and store leftover bread in the refrigerator for up to about 1 week.

CARROT CAKE LOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F(177°C). Grease 8 1/2 * 4 1/2 inch (21,5*10,5cm) loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, about 2 inches(5 cm) of overhang on each side. If you like, you can grease and flour the dish instead of parchment paper.
• Place the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder (and salt if using) into a medium bowl and mix. Set aside.
• Roughly chop the walnuts into small pieces with a sharp knife, set aside.
• Peel and grate the carrots, set aside.
• Put the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and mix with a whisk until just combined for almost 45 seconds.
• Mix in the olive oil and vanilla extract, stir with a whisk until just combined.
• Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and stir until just combined. You can use a whisk in the first batch but it will be easier to use a spoon/spatula in the end to mix easily.
• Add the carrots and stir with a spoon/spatula. Mix in the walnuts.
• Pour the batter into the loaf pan with the help of a spoon.
• Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean that is inserted in the center and the top is golden brown. After you remove the pan from the oven, leave in the pan until it cools completely, at least for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Spray a 9X5 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine dry ingredients (flours, spices, baking soda, and baking powder) in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• In another large bowl, beat egg till fluffy,
• Then beat in other wet ingredients (oil, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla.) Stir in grated carrots.
• Add dry mixture to wet mixture and stir until combined.
• If you are adding pineapple, add it here.
• Pour batter into greased loaf pan.
• Bake at 350F for approximately 50 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted comes out clean.
• Let cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

CARROT CAKE LOAF

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or softened butter. Line bottom and 2 short sides with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.
• In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk sugar, oil, and vanilla.
• Gently whisk in eggs and yolk, one at a time.
• Add dry ingredients to wet. Using a flexible spatula, gently fold dry into wet until just a few streaks of flour remain.
• Fold in grated carrots.
• Transfer batter to prepared pan, smoothing top if necessary. Bake for about 1 hour, rotating pan after 30 minutes. Cake is done when a tester comes out with a moist crumb or two, but no wet batter.
• Remove cake from oven and let cool for ten minutes before lifting out of pan by parchment "handles." Let cool completely before serving (or frosting, if you like).

CARROT LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• If you have time to do it the night before, put the orange zest and juice in a bowl with the sultanas. If you don't have time simply stir the zest, juice and sultanas together and microwave on Medium for 1-2 mins.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and grease and line the base and sides of a 2lb loaf tin. Whisk together the oil and eggs. Mix together the sugar, flours, mixed spice, cinnamon and bicarb in your largest mixing bowl. Add the sultanas with any juice and zest left in the bowl, grated carrot, walnuts and whisked egg mixture into the dry ingredients, then thoroughly mix with a wooden spoon. Tip into the loaf tin and bake on the middle shelf for 1 hr, or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool the cake in the tin.
• Once cool, remove from the tin and make the icing. With an electric whisk beat together butter, cinnamon and icing sugar until it comes together and is smooth. It takes a little while to come together (will look like breadcrumbs for a bit). Add the cream cheese and beat briefly until soft and smooth. Be careful not to overbeat or the cream cheese may split and become runny. Spread over the top of the cake and decorate with walnut halves.

CARROT LOAF CAKE!

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan and grease and line your 2lb Loaf Tin!
• Pour the sunflower oil & eggs into a large bowl and add the sugar - mix lightly and combine.
• Add the grated carrots, raisins/nuts, and orange zest and fold through to combine.
• Add the flour, bicarbonate, mixed spice, ginger, cinnamon & nutmeg and mix again - try not to over mix!
• Pour the mixture into the tin, and bake in the oven for 55-60 minutes. Sometimes it can take a little longer so test with a skewer!
• Once baked, leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, and then cool on a wire rack. If your cake doesn't come out, it may not have finished baking, or you didn't line the tin well enough!
• Beat your butter on its own for a few minutes to loosen it.
• Add in the icing sugar, and beat again - I beat this for about 5 minutes, to make it really smooth.
• Make sure your cream cheese doesn't have any excess water - I find it best to add it to a bowl first just to make sure.
• Add in the cream cheese, and vanilla and beat. At first, it may look a little weird, but just keep on beating. I end up beating it for a few minutes - it can go through a lumpy stage first, but eventually, the lumps beat out and it's smooth and thick!
• Once beaten - it should be lovely and thick.
• Slather your cream cheese frosting over the top of the cake!
• Decorate with chopped nuts, carrot decorations or whatever!!
• Enjoy!
