Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups finely shredded carrots

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325℉.
  • Beat eggs, sugar and oil in large mixing bowl with a hand mixer on low until just blended.
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; add to the egg mixture in intervals, mixing with a wooden spoon after each addition.
  • Stir in shredded carrots; mix until blended.
  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour batter into pan. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 70-80 minutes, or until center springs back when lightly pressed with fingertip.
  • Cool in pan for 10 minutes; then transfer to wire rack by lifting the parchment paper to cool completely (at least 1 hour) before slicing.
  • Wrap carrot bread in foil and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Because this is a moist bread, it's best not to refrigerate.
    Homemade carrot bread is very freezer-friendly. Wrap individual slices or the whole loaf in parchment or wax paper and place in freezer safe packaging for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge when ready to enjoy again.

Notes

  • Spoon flour into your measuring cup and gently level off (rather than packing) for more accurate measuring and best results.
  • Once the mixture is blended, do not overbeat, which can change the consistency of the bread.
  • Lining the loaf pan with parchment paper makes it much easier to remove the bread from the pan.
