Mimi's Cafe Carrot Bread - Original Recipe image

This recipe is great. It makes a very light (not compact) carrot bread/cake and is so simple to make!! I substituted light muscovado sugar for the brown sugar and cake was darker than usual but just as yummy.

Tips:

- For a moist and flavorful carrot bread, use freshly grated carrots. Grating the carrots yourself ensures that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter and that they retain their natural moisture. - Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour can result in a dry and dense bread. To ensure accurate measurement, use a kitchen scale to weigh your flour or spoon it into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife. - Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough and chewy bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. - Bake the carrot bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the bread. - Allow the carrot bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to set and make it easier to slice.
