Carrot Bread

By Addie

“My mother didn't like carrots as a child, so her mother never told her the delicious secret of this bread.”

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups grated carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease and lightly flour a 9 × 5-inch loaf pan.

Combine granulated sugar, vegetable oil and eggs in a large bowl and mix well.

Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt into a medium bowl. Add to sugar mixture and mix well.

Add carrots and walnuts to flour mixture and mix well. Spoon into prepared loaf pan.

Bake bread until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
