CARROT HONEY LOAF



Carrot Honey Loaf image

As a busy health-care professional and mom, one of the most meaningful gifts I give to the people I love is my time and skills in the kitchen. I have been baking since I was 7 years old and while I still am an avid baker, raising three children, caring for three dogs and working full-time leaves me with little energy! My family appreciates all my efforts and this is a favorite extra "gift" I give people for special events like a housewarming or welcoming a new baby. It is especially good toasted with butter. -Krystal Horudko, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada

CARROT CARROT HONEY CAKE



Carrot Carrot Honey Cake image

Yes, I realise I have written the word 'carrot'twice in the title. That's because this recipe truly does bring out the carrot flavour of carrots. Cooking the carrots and mashing is the key. Using a microwave or steaming them is better than boiling, because it retains the flavour. Packed full of vitamin A, this recipe is egg-and dairy-free.

CARROT LOAF



Carrot Loaf image

Provided by Julia Reed

Categories     project, appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces unsalted butter
2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 pound mushrooms, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 pound fresh spinach, rinsed well and dried (if you are not using baby spinach, remove stems)
6 eggs
1 cup grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese (4 ounces)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Melt 2 ounces of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and sauté slowly until tender, about 25 minutes. Chop coarsely and place in a bowl.
  • Increase heat to high and melt 1 ounce of the butter in the same skillet. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes. Chop coarsely and add to carrots. Set aside.
  • Melt 2 ounces butter over medium-high heat in the same skillet, add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Chop coarsely, place in a separate bowl and set aside.
  • Line an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan with aluminum foil. Butter foil with the remaining butter. Beat together 4 eggs, the cheese, salt and pepper in a medium bowl, add to the carrot mixture and mix well. Add the remaining eggs to the spinach and mix well. Spread half the carrot mixture over the bottom of the pan, cover with the spinach mixture and top with the remaining carrot mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the plastic wrap, cover the loaf pan loosely with foil and place in a roasting pan. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. Bake 1 hour or until a knife plunged in the center comes out clean. Uncover, invert the loaf onto a serving platter and remove foil. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the taste of your carrot honey loaf. - Grate the carrots finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the batter and prevent them from becoming too chunky. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - Bake the loaf in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured. This will help to prevent the loaf from sticking to the pan. - Let the loaf cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Carrot honey loaf is a delicious and moist quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It's also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
