Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. See notes for muffins or mini loaves.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, eggs, brown sugar, applesauce, vanilla, and carrots together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until *just* combined. Fold in the nuts/add-in. Batter will be semi-thick.
- Spread the batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55 - 65 minutes. (I like to loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent heavy browning on top.) Baking times vary so keep an eye on yours. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out *mostly* clean with zero raw batter. Remove the bread from the oven.
- Cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack before removing and frosting.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in the butter until combined. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt (I usually add a little less than 1/8 teaspoon), then beat on low speed until smooth and creamy. Taste. Add more cinnamon and/or salt if desired. Frost cooled bread, slice, and serve.
- Cover and store leftover bread at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to about 10 days. Storing with frosting: Cover and store leftover bread in the refrigerator for up to about 1 week.
GINGER-CARROT BREAD
This moist bread is a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast idea. There's no need to grate carrots to make this recipe; carrot juice gives it just as much flavor without the extra work.

This is really a cross between cake and a bread. Serving it warm with butter or a cream cheese is ideal. It's really good!

CARROT GINGER TEA SANDWICHES
This sandwich was part of the Tea we enjoyed at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC. I've not been able to find "sweet ginger paste" in this country, so I just grate some fresh ginger and sweeten it.

CARROT-GINGER TEA SANDWICHES
I have had a couple of tea parties with my granddaughters. I let them choose the menu and this was one of the tea sandwiches Valerie chose. When I go to stay with them I make up several different sandwich fillings for them to make their own sandwiches for their lunchboxes and again this one is always requested.

Steps:
- 1. * Choose the best-quality bread as possible. Never serve end slices. Freezing the bread before cutting and then spreading makes for easier handling.
- 2. In a medium bowl, combine carrots, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ginger; add salt and pepper. Spread one side of each piece of bread lightly with butter. Top the buttered side of 2 slices of bread with carrot/ginger mixture (about 1/4-inch thick). Top with alfalfa sprouts and top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side down. Carefully cut the crusts from each sandwich with a long, sharp knife. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and then cut in half again. If desired, decorative shapes can be made with cookie cutters.
- 3. MAKING SANDWICHES AHEAD OF TIME: If you need to make tea sandwiches in advance and need to keep them from drying out, cover them loosely with a sheet of wax paper and then place a damp kitchen towel over the wax paper (never place a damp towel directly on top of the bread because the sandwiches will become soggy). Refrigerate.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Grate the carrots finely so that they blend seamlessly into the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough bread.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Carrot ginger tea bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It's also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With its moist texture, sweet and spicy flavor, and beautiful golden color, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
