Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. In a mixer, beat your eggs.
Add the oil, sugar and vanilla; continue beating the mixture until thick and slightly foamy.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. A third at a time, add the dry ingredients into wet and gently stir (by hand) after each addition. Gently fold in the carrots, pineapple, almonds and shredded coconut.
You could divide the batter equally between two greased and flour-dusted 59 inch loaf pans, or you could do what I did, which was to add all the batter to one loaf pan. If you do the former, bake for 1 hour; if you do the latter, bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in to the center comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool thoroughly.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add the butter, sugar, cream cheese, milk and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Pour the glaze over the carrot cake bread and serve.
Place in an airtight ziploc bag to keep moist for up to 3 days.Adapted from Simply Recipes
