Really interesting article about Rikers Island Prison bakery which turns out 11,500 loaves of whole wheat bread a day.
City Room: At Rikers, This Cake Is Renowned By By EMILY B. HAGER Published: August 15, 2010
The carrot cake baked by inmates at Rikers Island is good enough that seconds are often requested, and correction officers ask for their fair share
So for one loaf that's a lb of flour, a lb of sugar, a lb of carrotts, a lot of eggs, a pint of vegetable oil....
I don't think I will be making that.

Way too much soda in the home recipe. Don't use 1/4 cup, use 1 Tbs instead. Even that may be too much. Read all the comments in the newspaper review before making this recipe.
