Carrot Bread

Carrot Bread (Aunt Gay’s. Husband was Maurice’s commanding officer. She drove across the country in the early 20’s with her 4 children. She drilled a hole in the floor boards and put a funnel through it so her kids could pee, and she wouldn’t have to stop the car!)
1 ½ c vegetable oil
2 c sugar
2 c flour
2 c grated carrots
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 c cut pecans
2 t soda
2 t cinnamon
½ t vanilla
½ t almond
Mix all ingredients, pour into 2 loaf pan. Bake at 325 for 1 hour. Pack the grated carrot down slightly, not really hard but you can get almost an extra ¼ c of carrots in. I wrap the bread in aluminum foil and it can be frozen.
