Penzey's Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 Cup vegetable oil
• 2 Cups sugar
• 2 Cups squash, peeled and grated (a great way to use any end-of-season, immature squash)
• 2 tsp. DOUBLE STRENGTH VANILLA EXTRACT
• 3 Cups flour
• 3 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. CEYLON CINNAMON
• 1/2 Cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour two 8.5 x 4.5" loaf pans. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs well. Add the oil, sugar, grated squash and VANILLA. Cream together. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and CINNAMON. Add to the creamed mixture and beat until well blended. Fold in the nuts. Bake at 325° for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean and the bread has risen. This bread freezes nicely.
