Ingredients
- 1 1/3 Cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ Teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ Teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ Teaspoons baking powder
- 2 egg Room Temperature, large
- 1/2 Cup granulated sugar
- ¼ Cup brown sugar
- ½ Cup vegetable oil
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Cups carrot Grated
- ½ Cup pecans Chopped
Glaze
- 4 Ounces cream cheese Room Temperature
- 4 Tablespoons butter Softened, unsalted
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ¼ Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of overhang on either side for easy removal of the loaf. Set Aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and baking powder.
- In a large bowl, mix the eggs, both sugars, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until just barely combined.
- Add in the carrots and pecans and mix just until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- Let the loaf cool completely before removing it from the pan and topping it with the cream cheese glaze.
Cup of Yum
Glaze
- Beat together the cream cheese and butter. Add 1 ½ cup of powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until combined.
- Microwave the glaze for 20 seconds, stirring halfway through. This will soften the glaze and make it easy to pour across the top of the bread.
