Zucchini Bread

Sorry I am late getting this new recipe on here. I have been a busy girl. Ok, so as requested by my friend Christine here is the zucchini bread recipe. Just thinking about it makes me want to run out and get some zucchini and start baking. It's soooo yummy.

Bread
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup oil
2/3 cup orange juice
2 cups unpeeled shredded zucchini
3 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup chopped nuts, if desired

Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons orange juice

Heat oven to 350F. Grease and flour two 8x4 or two 9x5 loaf pans. In large bowl beat eggs until thick and lemon colored; gradually beat in sugar. Stir in oil, 2/3 cup orange juice and zucchini. Stir in remaining bread ingredients; mix well. Pour batter into greased and floured pans.

Bake at 350F for 45-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool slightly.

In small bowl, blend glaze ingredients, adding enough orange juice for desired spreading consistency. Spread over warm loaves. Cool completely.

Enjoy! If you need to store; wrap tightly and store in refrigerator.

Bake this bread and send me a pic. I will post your photo. :o)

Coming Up

Happy Fall everyone. I had a request for my zucchini bread recipe, so that will be my next post. Just wanted to give you a heads up. I will be posting it the first week of October. If you have zucchini growing in your garden, be sure to save some to make this delicious bread.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to check out my site. Believe it or not I have received some rather mean comments for posting a link to this page on some message boards. Really, I just don't understand what is wrong with people these days. It makes me rather sad. Anyway I have decided not to let all that negativity get in my way.

Write me a note or send me a recipe, maybe I will post it.
