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.
