1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup carrot juice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a loaf pan. Set aside.In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and carrot juice. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, whisking just to combine. Fold in the walnuts.Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool in pan 10 minutes, then invert loaf onto rack to cool completely. Slice just before serving.I also add about a half cup of grated carrot to the batter as well as some chopped crystallized ginger. Mmmmmm.

I meant to add this to the original recipe...
ReplyDeleteIf anyone wants to know where to get a good deal on the crystallized ginger, the best place I've found around here is the Amish/bulk foods store in Mars Hill just off the highway. A good sized bag is about $3 or so depending on weight. I just picked up two bags today in advance of holiday baking and general snacking. Not long ago at the Fresh Market, I paid about the same amount for about a quarter or fifth the amount I got in Mars Hill. Ingles is worse and theirs is usually all dried up, too.
