Recipe(tried): Lucy's Zucchini Bread

Here's zucchini bread that my family loves. I got this from my friend (who has a garden with zucchini) and it's a real keeper (at least that's what my family says). A very fast recipe to make and makes the house smell divine. :)

LUCY'S ZUCCHINI BREAD

2 cups sugar
1 cup oil (canola or similar mild oil is best)
3 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder*
3 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda*
2 cups grated zucchini (1 large zucchini or 2 small), drain any liquid (I grate by hand)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 3 small loaf pans or two 9x5-inch loaf pans, or 1 bundt cake.

Mix together sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla.

Stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Stir into sugar mixture. Stir in zucchini and pour into prepared pan(s).

Bake at 350 degrees F. Start checking with a toothpick at about 50 minutes. Cover with foil if top browns too much.

Can be wrapped with plastic wrapped and frozen and keeps very well.

Fabulous with vanilla ice cream. (My favorite way to eat it LOL)

*Notes: Make sure the baking powder/baking soda are fresh otherwise the bread doesn't rise as nicely.
