Ingredients:
2 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup shortening
3 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium)
2/3 cup water
4 eggs
3 1/3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Watkins Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Watkins Ground Cloves
2 teaspoons Watkins Clear Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Baking Powder
2/3 cup coarsely chopped nuts, optional
2/3 cup raisins, optional
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottoms only of 2 loaf pans, 9x5x3 inches or 3 loaf pans, 8 1/2×4 1/2×2 1/2 inches.
Mix sugar and shortening in 2 1/2 quart bowl. Stir in zucchini, water and eggs. Mix in flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and baking powder; stir in nuts and raisins.
Pour into pans. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes; cool 5 minutes. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans. Cool completely before slicing.
2 or 3 loaves
When using frozen zucchini do not add the 2/3 cup of water. I have added pineapple, fruit cocktail, chocolate chips, cocoa – whatever sounds good to you and your family.
