tranum, how much zucchini in the bread recipe?

tranum

2 cups shredded (not more). Evidently I didn't proof read that as well as I thought. Sorry for that!

chocolate zucchini cake is the best! i have a slightly different recipe -- love how it tastes like dutch chocolate & you'd never know it had zucchini in it!

I never heard of bread with 2 cups of sugar.
And I use way more zucchini than called for. The cake gets dense, but tastes good.

Sounds great....thanks

I have trouble with cake getting done in the center if I overload with zucchini. Bread makes 2 loaves, thus 2 cups sugar. I cut sugar back in most recipes I make, but I know many bakers do not.

I made a similar version of the chocolate zucchini bread recently, and used applesauce to replace some of oil. About 3/4 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup oil....turned out great and moist.
