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.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh carrots. Older carrots can be bitter and less flavorful.
  • Grate the carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bread and give it a more uniform texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape and flavor.
