This Olive Oil Carrot Cake Loaf with its perfectly spiced batter is swiftly becoming a family favourite! The olive oil makes the crumb so tender and moist. Choose a good quality olive oil if you can -- it makes a big difference! The cream cheese frosting is lightly sweetened and compliments the loaf perfectly but it is optional!
