Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
7. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Slice and serve the carrot bread as desired. You can enjoy it plain, with butter, or with a dollop of cream cheese frosting.
