Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots, drained crushed pineapple, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your homemade Mimi's Cafe-inspired carrot bread!
