Carrot Bread

This carrot bread is really a cross between cake and a quick bread. It's bursting with shredded carrots, raisins, maraschino cherries, and nuts. It's delicious warm with butter or cream cheese for brunch. It's really good!

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ cup milk
• 2 cups shredded carrots
• 1 (3.5 ounce) package flaked coconut
• ½ cup maraschino cherries, chopped
• ½ cup raisins

2. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.

   

3. Combine eggs, oil, and milk in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until well blended.

   

4. Stir in carrots, coconut, cherries, raisins, and walnuts.

   

5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
