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!

CARROT RAISIN QUICK BREAD



Carrot Raisin Quick Bread image

Another gem I found through Cooking Light magazine. This gives a very moist and packed with flavor quick bread that is lower in calories than a cake. I like to add chopped walnuts or pecans to the bread but the original recipe does not call for them so I left it as written. It is also fun to add about a 1/2 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut for a fun twist.
