This is good with cream cheese on it . Can also freeze one loaf, after cooking, and wrapped well in saran wrap.
3 | cups | All purpose flour |
3 | tsp. | Baking soda |
1 1/2 | tsp. | Baking powder |
1 1/2 | tsp. | Cinnamon |
1 | tsp. | Salt |
3/4 | tsp. | Nutmeg |
3 | | Eggs |
2 | cups | sugar |
1 | cup | veg. Oil |
2 | tsp. | Vanilla |
2 | cups | shredded zucchini |
1 | can | fruit cocktail, drained |
1 | cup | chopped nuts |
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a large bowl, blend together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- In another bowl beat eggs, Canola oil, sugar and vanilla. Stir into the flour mixture. Add zucchini, fruit cocktail and nuts. Stir well.
- Divide evenly between two 8 x 4 x 3 inch greased loaf pans. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 50 to 60 minutes until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean but I would check it in 50 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on racks before turning out of pans.
- Makes 2 loaves
- Notes : if I had a few ripe bananas, I would mash them and put them in the batter.
