This Carrot Bread is not very sweet. Because I stared baking it for my then very young children as a substitute for bread, and I didn’t want it sweet at all. Today I added Sugar, and you may wish to add even more Sugar to make it properly sweet cake, but I like to eat it with jam, honey, peanut butter, etc. If you are a fan of Carrot Cake, try my ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’ recipe as well.
