Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Carrot juice (fresh or store-bought)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Grated carrots
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the carrot juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots, along with the chopped nuts and raisins if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is, or with a smear of cream cheese or butter for an extra indulgent treat!
