From “Carrot Bread”, and found in Spirit of The Harvest: North American Indian Cooking by Beverly Cox and Martin Jacobs.

This is a moist bread that the author’s describe as really more like a cake. It is fabulous served warm with butter, or as a desert. I made mine for the first time and served it with their “Cherokee Brunswick Stew”, with rabbit. “Yum!”
