Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups shredded carrots
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 0.75 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with unsalted butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded carrots, raisins, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
