CRANBERRY AND RAISIN ZUCCHINI BREAD
Ingredients
3 cups flour
¾ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1¼ tsp baking powder
2½ tsp cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable or canola oil
1¾ cups sugar
1 tbsp vanilla essence
2 cups grated zucchini
¾ cup raisins and dried cranberries (soaked in a little brandy for ½ hour, optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans.
- Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon in a bowl.
- In a larger bowl, with a stand or hand mixer, beat together the eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla until well mixed.
- Add the flour mixture and beat well. The mixture will be a bit dense. Mix in the grated zucchini, cranberries and raisin mixture. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour – 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove and test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in center, which should come out clean.
- Remove from pans after 5 minutes and let cool on a wire rack. Serve.
