Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 cup carrot grated
1 cup dates finely snipped pitted or raisins
3/4 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs large
1/4 cup pecans chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ginger ground
1/2 teaspoon cloves ground
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg ground

Directions:

Line bottom of 8 1/2 -inch microwave-safe loaf pan with wax paper. Invert a microwave-safe saucer in center of oven floor.

Blend all ingredients in large mixer bowl at low speed. Increase speed to medium. Beat 2 minutes. Spread batter in pan. Shield ends of loaf with 3-inch wide strips of aluminum foil covering 1 inch of batter at each end and folding remaining foil around handles.

Place pan on saucer in oven. Microwave at medium (50%) 9 minutes, rotating 1/4 turn every 3 minutes. Remove foil. Microwave at high (100%) 1 to 2 minutes until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean and sides begin to pull away from pan (surface may appear moist, but do not overcook top will be flat or irregular).

Let stand on heatproof surface 15 minutes to complete cooking. Invert onto cooling rack. Remove wax paper. Cool completely. For easier slicing, wrap and refrigerate overnight. Serve at room temperature.
