Susanna's favorite way to have zucchini is in this delicious bread. The recipe actually came from my oldest daughter, Elisabeth, who is a wonderful baker and gives many baked goods as gifts to the many people in her life. The secret ingredient in this moist bread is cream cheese!
Beat the following ingredients until smooth:
3 eggs
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of oil
1 t. vanilla
Add 8 oz cream cheese
stir together:
2 cups of flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. salt
1/2 t. nutmeg
add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix.
Fold in 2 cups of shredded zucchini and 2 cups of chopped nuts. Spread into 2 greased and floured standard sized bread pans and bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes and invert onto cooling rack.
Susanna's variation:
Add 1/3 cup of cocoa instead of spices and add chocolate chips in place of nuts. I use about 1/2 cup of mini chips. She prefers everything with chocolate!!!
Enjoy!
