Ingredients
For the Bread
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/4 cups shredded carrots
- 1 cup sweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 cups flour
For the Glaze
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon rum extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1/4 cup toasted coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray an 8 1/2 x 5 loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- Beat the oil and sugars until it looks like wet sand.
- Add the eggs, extract, and sour cream and beat again until creamy. Stir in the carrots and coconut gently.
- Stir together the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Slowly add it to the wet ingredients until mixed in.
- Spoon into pan. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs on it. If it starts to get dark on top, you can cover the bread with foil the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 15 minutes before flipping out on a plate to cool completely.
- Stir together the cream cheese, extract, and salt with a fork. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar and milk until creamy.
- Spread on top of the cooled bread. Top with toasted coconut right away. Let set. Store covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
*You can also bake this recipe in three small mini loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs on it.
