Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil (I use safflower)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup grated carrots (about 3-4 medium-sized carrots)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x4 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix first three ingredients. Add next four ingredients and mix. Add carrots (and walnuts, if using) and mix throughly.
3. Pour into loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Let cool on a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
