Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 1 pound loaf pan with parchment paper or spray liberally cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix together until homogenous and glossy.

Step 3

Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Mix until smooth and no streaks of flour remain. Add the grated carrots and pineapple and mix well. Do not over mix.

Step 4

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle of the bread comes out mostly clean. Allow the bread to cool completely.

While the bread is cooling, make the cream cheese frosting. Combine all the frosting ingredients in a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment. Beat until smooth and creamy.
