Time 1h15m

Yield one 9-by-5-inch loaf or three 6-by-3-inch mini loaves

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled (or 1/2 cup vegetable oil), plus more for the pan
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
3/4 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (optional)
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the carrot bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-inch mini loaf pans.
  • Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add the hazelnuts and coconut.
  • Whisk the eggs, melted butter, yogurt, vanilla and lemon zest (if using) in a medium bowl. Stir in the shredded carrots. Fold the carrot mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Spread the batter in the prepared pan(s). Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes for a standard loaf or 35 to 40 minutes for mini loaves. Cool 30 minutes in the pan(s) on a rack, then turn out onto the rack to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, milk and vanilla in a bowl. Pour over the cooled carrot bread and let set, 15 to 20 minutes.
