Carrot Bread

Carrot Bread

3/4 cup oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup carrots, grated
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
1 and 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare 1 loaf pan with oil.

In a large bowl cream together the oil, eggs, and sugar. Add in carrots and chopped nuts (I prefer walnuts for this, but you can use any nut or leave them out). In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, thoroughly incorporating together. Pour the mix into the bread pan and bake for 60 minutes, checking with a toothpick to make sure it is baked through to the center. Turn the pan out onto a cooling rack.
