Penzey's Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup vegetable oil (not olive)
• 3 cups coarsely grated raw zucchini (2 medium)
• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 cup flaked coconut
• 3/4 cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 medium (4.5x8.5) loaf pans and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, eggs, and oil until thoroughly blended. Stir in the zucchini. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Gradually, add to the wet ingredients, mixing well. Fold in the coconut and nuts. Pour into the loaf pans and bake at 350 for 60 to 70 minutes. They are done when they look brown and firm-they won't jiggle when you shake the pan.
