CARROT BREAD

A yummy, moist bread. If you substitute applesauce for oil in baking, don't do it on this one. I tried it, and it wasn't nearly as good.

CARROT LOAF CAKE WITH TANGY LEMON GLAZE



Carrot Loaf Cake With Tangy Lemon Glaze image

This easy, breezy one-bowl loaf cake makes the perfect afternoon snack - and a perfect breakfast the next day, too. It's lightly spiced and nut- and fruit-free, but feel free to add about 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or dried fruit, if that's how you like your carrot cake. There is an optional bit of grated carrot in the lemony glaze, which doesn't lend that much flavor, but provides a lovely light orange hue. If grating carrot for the glaze seems fussy, you can certainly skip it.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack, cakes

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 (9-by-5-inch) loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup/180 milliliters neutral oil or mild olive oil, plus more for greasing the pan
1 cup/225 grams packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups/225 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 packed cups peeled and grated carrots (about 6 ounces/165 grams, from 3 medium carrots)
1 lemon
1 cup/100 grams confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated carrot (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Oil a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over the two long sides. Oil the paper, too.
  • Add the light brown sugar and eggs to a large bowl and whisk vigorously until pale in color, about 2 minutes. Add the oil, cinnamon, cardamom and salt. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk, starting slowly to incorporate the flour without spilling it, until well combined and smooth, switching to a rubber spatula if necessary. Fold in the grated carrots. The batter will be very thick.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any big air bubbles.
  • Bake the cake until golden and puffed and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Set the pan on a rack to cool for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, use the parchment paper to lift the cake out of the pan and set on the rack over a baking sheet to cool completely.
  • When the cake is cool, make the glaze: Finely zest the lemon into a medium bowl. Juice the lemon, and set aside lemon juice. Add the confectioners' sugar and finely grated carrot (if using) to the bowl with the zest, along with 4 teaspoons of the lemon juice. Whisk vigorously until smooth. Add more lemon juice as needed to make a thick but pourable glaze. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for a few minutes before slicing. Store the cake well wrapped at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.

CARROT BREAD



Carrot Bread image

Try this recipe from chef Jim Lahey's "My Bread" cookbook for a fun fall treat.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Seasonal Recipes     Fall Recipes

Yield One 10-inch round loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/4 teaspoons table salt
1/4 teaspoon instant or other active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed carrot juice
3/4 cup currants
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon cumin seeds

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour, salt, and yeast; add carrot juice. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a wet, sticky dough is formed, about 30 seconds. If it's not really sticky to the touch, add another tablespoon or two of water. Add currants and walnuts and mix until incorporated. Cover bowl and let stand until surface is dotted with bubbles and dough is more than doubled in size, 12 to 18 hours.
  • Generously dust work surface with flour. Using a bowl scraper or rubber spatula, scrape dough out of bowl in one piece. Using floured hands or a bowl scraper, lift edges of dough in toward center. Tuck in edges of dough to make a round.
  • Place a clean kitchen towel on work surface. Generously dust towel with flour and sprinkle with cumin seeds. Gently place dough on towel, seam side-down. If dough is tacky, dust top lightly with flour. Fold the ends of the towel loosely over dough to cover and place in a warm, draft-free spot to rise for 1 to 2 hours. Dough is ready when it is almost doubled in size and holds an impression when gently poked with a finger. If it springs back, let rise 15 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, one half hour before the end of the second rise, preheat oven to 450 degrees with a rack set in bottom third of oven. Place a covered 4 1/2-to-5 1/2-quart cast-iron, high-quality all-ceramic, or enameled cast-iron (with plastic handle removed and screw hole plugged with aluminum foil) in the center of rack.
  • Using pot holders, very carefully remove preheated pot from oven and uncover. Unfold towel and quickly but gently invert dough into pot, seam side-up. Cover pot, return to oven, and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue baking until bread is a deep chestnut color, 15 to 20 minutes more. Using a heatproof spatula or pot holders, carefully lift bread out of pot and place it on a rack; let cool completely.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful loaf, use freshly grated carrots and lemon zest. You can also add a handful of chopped walnuts or raisins for extra texture and sweetness.
  • Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender crumb.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough and dense loaf.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Lemon carrot bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or snack. It's also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With its moist texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and beautiful golden color, lemon carrot bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
