This was found on Mimi's Cafe website. I very rarely post recipes for things I haven't made, but since it was on their website am posting it before it's lost. I am anxious to hear if you think it tastes like what is served in the restaurants. (Note: After testing this recipe, I would use 1/2 C oil and 1/2 C applesauce.)

MIMI'S CAFE CARROT RAISIN BREAD
Found this recipe on a Sacramento paper's website and it is delish! Differs from the other recipe posted on this site. I've never been to Mimi's Cafe but if this bread is any indication it must be a special place. This is sweet, moist and dense without being too dense - perfect carrot bread in my opinion!

Steps:
- 1. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a mixing bowl. (or just dump them in and mix, I don't care) 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar and eggs. 3. Stir the liquid mixture into the flour; mix well. 4. Add the walnuts, pineapple, raisins and carrots; stir again. 5. Grease and flour a 9" square pan or four mini-loaf pans. Fill the pans 2/3 full with batter. 6. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes. (Mini-loaves take about 30 minutes).
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, organic carrots. - If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the carrots by hand. - Be sure to measure your flour and baking powder correctly. Too much flour will make the bread dry, and too much baking powder will make it rise too much and then fall. - Mix the batter until just combined. Overmixing will make the bread tough. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help it rise evenly. - Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.Conclusion:
