Instructions
For the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray, and set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk or sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, kosher salt, nutmeg, and ground ginger.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer add eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Mix on medium speed until well combined and light in color, about 2 minutes.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low just until combined.
- Fold in the shredded carrots and walnuts.
- Add the carrot cake batter to the prepared loaf pan.
- Fold in carrot and pour into a 9 x 5-inch loaf tin (greased or lined with parchment paper). Top with more nuts as desired. Make a small cut lengthwise about ½ inch deep in the center of the bread.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few breadcrumbs.
- Let the bread cool for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cooled frost with the cream cheese frosting.
- Optional: cover the frosting with chopped walnuts.
For the frosting:
- Beat cream cheese on medium speed until creamy.
- Add the softened butter and mix on medium speed until combined.
- Move your mixer to low speed and gradually stir in the powdered sugar until fully combined and fluffy.
