Zucchini Bread
Cooking Hint: This bread freezes well, so make a double batch!
Ingredients
4 eggs
½ tsp. baking soda
2 cups white sugar
¾ tsp. baking powder
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 ½ cups white flour
2 cups of zucchini (peeled and grated without seeds)
Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or raisins
Loaf Pan Directions
Mix ingredients in the order given. Pour into greased loaf pans and fill 2/3 full. Bake at 325° for 30-40 minutes or until the center is done. Let cool 5 minutes and remove from pan.
Aluminum Can Directions
If you do not have a loaf pan, use a 15 oz. aluminum can without any plastic coating. The round shape will make easy-to-eat slices of bread for you and your guests to enjoy.
Grease and fill half full with bread dough. Reduce temperature and baking time slightly. Let baked bread cool 5-10 minutes and remove it from the can by gently shaking.
