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.
