This is our very favorite ever. I don't add the raisins or the nuts. But we love it!

Here's the recipe that's been used by my family forever! I sometimes add a cup of roughly diced fresh cranberries for a twist--

Pineapple Zucchini Bread

3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Beat together until foamy.

1 cup well drained crushed pineapple
2 cups shredded zucchini
Stir into egg/oil mixture.

3 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup chopped nuts
Stir all dry ingredients together. Then stir gently into wet ingredients until blended.

Bake in 2 greased loaf pans.
350 degrees for one hour

I like to make this in mini loaf pans since there are only two of us here. This recipe will make 6 mini loaves, which I bake for 40 minutes. Freezes very well!

Hope you'll enjoy it--

Chocolate Zucchini Cake Recipe


2 1/2 cups regular all-purpose flour, unsifted
1/2 cup cocoa
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup soft butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
2 cups coarsely shredded zucchini
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Glaze (directions follow)
Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

1 Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.

2 With a mixer, beat together the butter and the sugar until they are smoothly blended. Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. With a spoon, stir in the vanilla, orange peel, and zucchini.

3 Alternately stir the dry ingredients and the milk into the zucchini mixture, including the nuts with the last addition.

4 Pour the batter into a greased and flour-dusted 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan. Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes (test at 45 minutes!) or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes; turn out on wire rack to cool thoroughly.

5 Drizzle glaze over cake.

Glaze: Mix together 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 Tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth.

Cut in thin slices to serve. Makes 10-12 servings.

This is the one I make .I omit the orange peel and at times I will throw in a cup of chocolate chips too :)

I use to use applesauce instead of oil in my Amish Friendship Bread. It was so moist and better for you.

SewExtremeSeams 07-25-2012 03:02 AM

All of the recipes sound great! Thanks!

Thanks for all the recipes. Going to try them all especially the chocolate ones. I knew you would come through for me.

I use this recipe, also. I sprinkle flax seed on top and some white chocolate chips over that.
