Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F or 175 C.
  2. Grease a loaf pan generously with melted butter, keep it aside.
  3. Grate 3 medium-sized carrots, we need 2 cups of grated carrots.
  4. In a large bowl, combine together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt & ground cinnamon.
  5. In a large bowl, crack 4 eggs at room temperature.
  6. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the eggs at high speed till they turn fluffy.
  7. Add white sugar, condensed milk & vanilla extract, beat at high speed till the mixture turns creamy & pale in color.
  8. If you don't have condensed milk, you can replace that with ½ cup sugar.
  9. Add oil & beat well for 2 minutes.
  10. Add the flour mix, beat at low speed for a minute, don't overbeat the batter.
  11. Add the grated carrot & using a spatula fold the carrot into the batter.

  17. Run a knife through the sides of the cake & the pan, this will detach the cake off the pan.
  18. Take the cake out of the pan & place it on a wire rack or a platter.
  19. Let cool down completely.
  20. Using a bread knife, slice the loaf cake & enjoy.
