Lemon and carrot flavors combine for a unique flavor sensation in this moist quick bread. I know it's a winner because I bring a loaf to our church festival every year, and I always get requests to bake it again.

I found this bread to be a bit dry. I think I would add more oil or butter next time.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
