Specialty Recipe

Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

3 eggs, room temperature (or substitute 6 egg whites)

2 cups sugar (you can reduce this amount if you wish)

2 cups raw zucchini, grated

1 cup oil

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 Tablespoons cocoa

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans

This moist bread is delicious served either as a fruit bread for breakfast or as a Bundt cake for afternoon tea. It tastes good baked ahead of time and allowed to set. If served as a cake, you can either sift confectioners sugar over the top or frost with Cream Cheese-Butter Icing.

Set oven to 350 degrees. Mix all dry ingredients together; set aside. In a large bowl beat eggs; add sugar, oil, and zucchini. Add all dry ingredients and mix well. Add vanilla and nuts. Pour into 2 well-greased and floured loaf pans or 1 Bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until done. Place on a rack for 10 minutes before turning out of pans.

Makes: 2 loaves or 1 Bundt cake
