    Recipe Introduction


    MAKES TWO 8-BY-4-INCH LOAVES

    This moist, carrot-flecked bread is deep brown with a very crisp crust

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon crushed cardamom seeds
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    4 large eggs
    1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1 cup canola oil
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    Grated zest of 1 lemon
    2 1/2 cups shredded carrots (about 14 ounces)

    Recipe



    1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Coat two 8-by-4-inch loaf pans with cooking spray or grease and lightly flour the pans.

    2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom and salt.

    3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the oil in a thin stream, beating at high speed until the batter has doubled in volume, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and lemon zest. Fold in the shredded carrots. Beat in the dry ingredients at low speed in 3 batches, mixing well between additions.

    4. Pour the batter into the prepared pans, filling them two-thirds full. Bake in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a rack to cool completely.

    MAKE AHEAD Wrap the bread tightly in plastic and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
