Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 carrots, grated (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter, unsalted if you have it but salted is fine
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon heavy cream or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instruction

  • In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until combined.
  • In another large bowl, mix together the eggs and sugar until combined. Then, add in the oil and vanilla. 
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together until fully incorporated. With a spatula, fold in the carrots, raisins, and pecans.
  • Pour this into a greased 9×5 loaf pan and bake at 350 for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven when done and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan to cool completely.
  • Mix all of the frosting ingredients together, using additional milk if you’d like your icing a bit thinner. Frost the cooled loaf and top with a few extra pecans if you like. Enjoy!
