Pinch of nutmeg and ginger (about 1/4 tsp)

2 eggs

1/2C brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla bean paste

1/2C vegetable oil

1/2C whole milk

1 1/2C shredded carrots (*grate them fresh is always the preferred method, but if you already have pre-shredded in stock, use it!!)

1/4C crushed pineapple

-Pour all the above into a parchment & butter lined loaf pan (pound cake pan).

-Bake @ 350*F 60-mins or until a knife comes out clean

Frosting:

8 oz cream cheese
