elaine's perfectly spiced carrot loaf
I have used this recipe since the 1960's. It has a festive aroma. It freezes very well. It keeps well and even tastes better on the second day. I like it with a bit of butter, but it is excellent on it's own. You can use any nuts you prefer. I have used walnuts or pecans.

How To Make elaine's perfectly spiced carrot loaf
-
1Bake in two oiled loaf pans or one tube pan at 275 degrees F. for two hours or less depending on the size of your pans. Muffin pans will take about 30 minutes. I have found that the loaves bake for a shorter time than the recipe states.
-
2Cakes are done when toothpick inserted into them comes out clean. Allow to sit in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before removing from the baking pans.
