A raisin pecan carrot cake loaf topped with a honey cream cheese frosting! So fluffy and packed with different textures from the carrots, raisins and pecans mixed in!
This has been one of my favorite loaves by-far. When it comes to baking, chocolate chips and nuts are my two favorite add-ins. This recipe has a more spring vibe to it. I bought a bag of shredded carrots to make egg rolls but I had so much leftovers, and thought, why not bake some into a loaf?
This loaf was so moist and was so hard to resist. The cream cheese frosting was a necessity!! It definitely helped add a whole lot of flavor to the loaf!
