Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and grated
  • 2 cups carrots, grated
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Equipment

  • 9x5-inch Loaf Pan
  • Medium bowl
  • Large Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ginger, and ground nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, vegetable oil, grated apple, grated carrots, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans.
  4. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the carrot mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Avoid overbaking to maintain moisture.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5-7 minutes. Carefully invert the pan onto the wire rack and gently roll the bread over. Let it cool completely for 2-3 hours before slicing.
