I've been in the baking mode with the weather cooling down a bit, and decided to make this yummy loaf. I added pineapple tidbits and Macadamia nuts for added flavor and crunch. The glaze sent it to another dimension. Such flavor and deliciousness!

Hubs has been dying for carrot cake, and this nice little loaf cake was quick and easy! It is moist and has a fine texture. I never use things like cloves and nutmeg in my carrot cake because we aren't fond of them, so this one fit the bill. I liked the addition of cardamom. Very nice alternative to making my large sheet or layer cake. Thanks, Linky! It's winner!
