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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are brightly colored and firm to the touch. Avoid limp or bruised carrots.
  • Peel and grate the carrots finely: This will help them blend into the batter more easily and create a more uniform texture.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use fresh lemon zest: Fresh lemon zest will give the bread a brighter, more flavorful lemon flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A loaf pan will help the bread rise evenly and give it a classic shape.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling and will also allow the flavors to develop more fully.

Conclusion:

Lemony carrot walnut bread is a delicious and nutritious quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you like your bread sweet or savory, moist or dense, there's a lemony carrot walnut bread recipe out there for you.
