Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp. whole milk, divided
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 oz. cream cheese, softened

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray 3 (5×3-inch) loaf pans with baking spray with flour.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, pie spice, salt and baking powder. In a medium bowl, stir together carrot, raisins, walnuts, 1/2 cup milk, melted butter, egg and vanilla. Fold carrot mixture into flour mixture just until combined. Divide batter among prepared pans.

  3. Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.
