This carrot loaf is really easy to bake at home and it is perfect as an afternoon snack or even as a quick morning breakfast. Just prepare some coffee and cut a slice of your freshly baked carrot cake!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all purpose flour
• 2 cups of carrots, shredded
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup of walnuts
• 2 tsp of cinnamon, ground
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1 tsp of baking powder
• 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, ground
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a bowl, sift in together the all purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder and nutmeg. Give it a good stir to combine.
3. Take a separate bowl, a larger one, and mix in the two kind of sugar, salt, eggs and vanilla extract. If you don’t have brown sugar, use regular instead. Whisk these ingredients on low speed until completely combined.
4. Add in the vegetable oil into the sugar mixture and keep whisking for about 3-5 minutes.
5. Now it is time to combine both mixtures. Incorporate the flour mixture into the larger bowl and whisk to combine the ingredients and to get an even batter.
6. Add the shredded carrots and walnuts. Fold them into the batter.
7. Line a loaf pan with some parchment paper or grease it to make it easier to unmold the cake.
8. Spread the carrot cake batter evenly into the loaf pan. Add some extra chopped nuts on top if you want it extra nutty!
9. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden on top. Remember you can always check if the cake is ready by inserting a toothpick in the center and if it comes out clean or just with a few crumbles then is time to turn off the oven.
10. Let it cool down before cutting it.
