• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups grated carrots
• 0.75 cup raisins
• 3 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and mix until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the grated carrots, raisins, and milk until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
