Ingredients
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cloves, ground
  • 2 cups zucchini squash, unpeeled and shredded
  • 1 cup nuts of your choice, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Lightly grease and flour two (2) 9 by 5-inch loaf pans.

  3. In a large bowl, cream eggs, sugar, and vegetable oil until light and fluffy.  Mix in flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.  Add cloves, zucchini, nuts, and vanilla extract; stir until well blended.

  4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans and bake 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  NOTE: Be sure and poke the toothpick to the center of the loaf.  A good check is to use an instant digital thermometer to test your bread.  The internal temperature of the bread should be at 200 degrees F. when done.

  5. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan.  Cool completely before slicing.

  6. Yields 2 loaves.
