Carrot Walnut Loaf

(b)

I bought this carrot walnut loaf and chocolate loaf from bakerscottage. Chocolate loaf is not in the post title cus it's not nice. So bad of me.. I love the carrot walnut loaf. Oh, I love walnuts! I had this for dinner and my breakfast. The chocolate loaf is too dry and it didn’t taste like choc (taste like ‘burnt-dry-hard-choc’). Although, I know it’s not a moist choc, but still it’s just too dry for me and the texture is hard.

Hope I can do this one day.. =P . I searched for this similar loaf recipe. I found this carrot & walnut loaf from suzyscooking. I think it can be modified abit by adding orange peel so it’ll smell nicer.
