Mimi's Cafe Carrot Raisin Bread

So if any of you have ever eaten at Mimis you know what I'm talking about.....THE BREAD! The food is okay, but man that carrot raisin bread  is worth every calorie. I haven't eaten there in about three years, and sadly there isn't one for 100 miles of the NYC metro area. During this past monsoon like week, we've had I was reminiscing about that bread. How I asked the waitress to bring ONLY the carrot raisin bread, cause who are we kidding, its the best. So I searched the Internet and found a recipe as close to it as I could. Naturally, I edited it so here is my version of Mimi's Cafe's Carrot Raisin Bread enjoy! I'd post a picture, but we devoured it.

Mimi's Carrot Raisin Bread
Ingredients

1 1/2 C flour (I used 1/2 cup whole wheat, 1C white)
1teaspoon baking soda
2t baking powder
2t cinnamon
1/2t salt
3/4 C oil
1 C brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 C walnuts chopped (I used almonds since that was what I had. I'm sure pecans would be good too)
1/2 C crushed pineapples drained
1/2 C raisins
1 C shredded carrot ( I threw mine in the food processor)

Method
Sift first five ingredients (yes you have to.) In a separate bowl whisk oil, sugar and eggs. Stir liquid mix into flour mixture. Add the rest of the ingredients. Grease a 9-in pan or four mini loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 mins. For the mini loaves you want to bake for about 30. Baking time will also depend on your oven. I have a gas oven, and its a bit wonky.

**After its done baking leave the bread in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a cooking rack. If you take it out right after its in the oven, it will fall apart, and so will you**
