Whisk the eggs, melted butter, yogurt, vanilla and lemon zest (if using) in a medium bowl.
5
Stir in the shredded carrots.
6
Fold the carrot mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
7
Spread the batter in the prepared pan(s).
8
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes for a standard loaf or 35 to 40 minutes for mini loaves.
9
Cool 30 minutes in the pan(s) on a rack, then turn out onto the rack to cool completely.
10
Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, milk and vanilla in a bowl.

Pour over the cooled carrot bread and let set, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
