  • Transfer batter to your prepared baking pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes (on a rack in the lower third of the oven) until a toothpick inserted deep into the center comes out clean (a few loose crumbs are fine but no wet batter!). *If your cake begins to brown too much on top, place a sheet of foil loosely over the top of the cake pan, I usually do this about halfway through the baking time.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • If making the frosting, you can do this while the cake cools.

Tips:

  • Use fresh carrots: Fresh carrots have a higher moisture content, which makes for a moister carrot cake bread.
  • Grate the carrots finely: Finely grated carrots will distribute more evenly throughout the batter and bake more evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the carrot cake bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is the right size: A loaf pan that is too small will cause the carrot cake bread to overflow, and a loaf pan that is too large will result in a dry cake. A 9x5 inch loaf pan is a good size for most carrot cake bread recipes.
  • Bake the carrot cake bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the carrot cake bread cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Carrot cake bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and crunchy walnuts, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy-to-make snack or dessert, give carrot cake bread a try!
