Carrot Ginger Tea Bread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. * Choose the best-quality bread as possible. Never serve end slices. Freezing the bread before cutting and then spreading makes for easier handling.
• 2. In a medium bowl, combine carrots, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ginger; add salt and pepper. Spread one side of each piece of bread lightly with butter. Top the buttered side of 2 slices of bread with carrot/ginger mixture (about 1/4-inch thick). Top with alfalfa sprouts and top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side down. Carefully cut the crusts from each sandwich with a long, sharp knife. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and then cut in half again. If desired, decorative shapes can be made with cookie cutters.
• 3. MAKING SANDWICHES AHEAD OF TIME: If you need to make tea sandwiches in advance and need to keep them from drying out, cover them loosely with a sheet of wax paper and then place a damp kitchen towel over the wax paper (never place a damp towel directly on top of the bread because the sandwiches will become soggy). Refrigerate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat an 8-by-4-inch (1 quart) loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and carrot juice. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, whisking just to combine. Fold in the walnuts.
• Pour batter into prepared pan; bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool in pan 10 minutes, then invert loaf onto rack to cool completely. Slice just before serving.

Steps:

• Blend grated carrots, cream cheese, mayo, and ginger paste (if desired); add salt and peper to taste.
• Butter all four pieces of bread; place carrot mixture onto one slice; put other piece of buttered bread on top.
• Cut off the crusts and cut to preferred size.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Beat the eggs very light and add the baking powder. Stir into the dry ingredients with the oil, juice and carrots.
• If you decide to use nuts you can use walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts. If you use hazelnuts blanch them and remove the skins.Then brown them in the oven a little.
• Put the batter into an oiled bread pan and bake it 10 minutes at 400 degrees then turn the heat down to 325 degrees and bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes. 1 hour and 15 minutes altogether.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 5-by-9-inch (6-cup) loaf pan. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy; beat in eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in carrots. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat just until combined. Transfer batter to prepared pan; bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool in pan 5 minutes. Turn cake out onto a wire rack, and let cool completely.
• Make frosting: Using mixer, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until fluffy. Frost top of cooled cake.
