Banana Carrot Cake Bread #SundaySupper

April 20, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 58 Comments

Happy Easter!

Today for #SundaySupper we had to make a recipe for Passover.  So I thought what recipe screamed Passover?  Then it hit me carrot cake!  But not just carrot cake, how about Banana Carrot Cake Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting!  Now that is what I am talking about!!
Banana Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This bread is just amazing!! It’s not heavy, it’s moist, full of freshly grated carrots, raisins, pecans and has the most subtle flavor of banana. It’s truly a remarkable bread!! But one thing this bread has that I love, love, love is the cream cheese frosting. Oh my gosh amazing! I swear I could just spoon the frosting. If love came in frosting form, this would be it!!
Banana Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This bread is perfect for Easter Brunch or to have anytime of the year. I don’t know why we have things like carrot cake only around Easter? But then again, maybe that is just me? Anyway, this bread also freezes nicely too, however I don’t recommend frosting it then freezing it. My Friends, Marlene and Billie at #SundaySupper gave me some great advice. I asked, how do I store bread that I frosted? Do you leave it at room temperature or do you refrigerate it? Refrigerate it was the answer! Just wrap it in aluminum foil and pop in the fridge. Poke the bread with toothpicks to keep the frosting from sticking to the foil. It worked like a charm. However, the bread does dry out just a tad bit when it’s refrigerated, but freshly eaten on the day you make, it’s drool worthy!

    Well it’s a good thing Lent is over, Jennifer. Because that carrot cake bread with the cream cheese (double dose – yes please!) looks very tempting. Or should I just say thank you? You’ve blessed my dessert recipe file =)

    This sounds heavenly! I love a good loaf cake. You could make the frosting and store it in the refrigerator and store the bread at room temperature and just frost what you’re eating too. Plus, that way you could take a little extra frosting and no one would know the difference 🙂

    Banana and carrot cake bread sound like a great combo. The frosting is just an added bonus. 🙂 I have become a big can of carrot cake and carrot cake bread over the years and this is really tempting me to get up and bake.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?
