Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and oil together until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of freshly grated carrots and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
