Instructions: In a food processor, whirl together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Then add the nuts and process just until theyre chopped but still recognizable.

In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, oil, and vanilla.

Grate the carrots. Mix flour mixture and carrots into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Oil a 5 1/4" x 9 1/4" bread pan, add batter, and spread evenly to edges, leaving a shallow depression in the center.

Bake for 1 hour, 15 minutes, then check your loaf. It will probably need another 5-15 minutes in the oven; youll know its ready when its well-browned and tests done in the center. Remove from oven, cool on rack, and let it stand for several hours or overnight.

Before the party, whip the cream cheese. Make small sandwiches by cutting a thin slice from the bread, then spreading the cream cheese on the remaining end of the loaf, then cutting that slice and joining it to the first. Continue until all are made; cut into smaller shapes if you wish. Be sure to keep your plate of Carrot Tea Bread Sandwiches well covered until time to serve!
