  2. 1 1/4 c. (150 g.) all-purpose flour
  3. 1 tsp. baking powder
  4. 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  5. 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  6. 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  7. 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  8. 3 large eggs
  9. 1 c. (200 g.) granulated sugar
  10. 1 c. vegetable oil
  11. 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  12. 2 c. finely grated carrots (from about 4 medium)
  13. 1/2 c. golden raisins
  14. 1/2 c. toasted chopped pecans
  15. 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  16. 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
  17. 1 c. (115 g.) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
  18. 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  19. 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Bread

    Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°. Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. While whisking, slowly pour in oil until well combined, then whisk in vanilla. Stir dry ingredients into egg mixture until just combined. Fold in carrots, raisins, and pecans. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  4. Bake bread until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

  5. Frosting

    In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat until smooth.
  6. Spread frosting over loaf. Sprinkle with pecans.
