Zucchini Bread More Like A Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottoms only of two 8x4-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir cake mix, cinnamon, oil, milk and eggs until well blended. Add zucchini; mix well. Divide batter evenly between pans.
• Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Wrap tightly, and store at room temperature up to 2 days.

Steps:

• In one bowl mix all ingredients. Will have some lumps and that is ok. As we age those lumps are badges of honor!
• Pour into 2 greased and floured bread loaf pans or 1 loaf pan and 12 muffin cups (lined).
• Cook for 45 minutes at 350°F.
• Muffins 25 minutes at 350°F.
• * Elevation and fuel will vary temps and times. (ex. my propane oven 45 minutes, my DD electric oven 53 min for loaves and similar for muffins).
• ** Tastes great with orange flavor as well, DD made with strawberry cake mix.
• *** NOT as dense as a quick bread but tastes oh so good and light.
• An aditional note: this freezes very well as muffins or bread/cake. I double wrap in plastic and then into a freezer bag. To thaw i take out of freezer bag and let come to room temp, take off plastic and set on paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. To warm just put into a warmed oven or microwave for 30 seconds in a paper towel.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over the long sides to create a sling.
• In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, light brown sugar, oil, vanilla extract and salt until smooth and glossy, about 30 seconds. Add the grated zucchini and mix with a rubber spatula until incorporated.
• Using a fine-mesh strainer, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda directly into the bowl and stir with a rubber spatula just until combined and no pockets of unincorporated flour remain. (Try not to overmix.) Add all but 1 tablespoon of the chocolate chips to the batter and stir until evenly distributed.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar and the reserved chocolate chips, pressing them in slightly so they stick. Bake until the cake puffs slightly and a skewer or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs attached or with smudges of melted chocolate chips (the chips will be dark brown versus the lighter color of uncooked cake batter), 75 to 80 minutes.
• Let the loaf cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Using the parchment paper, lift the cake out of the pan and let cool completely on a rack before slicing, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 4 loaf pans.
• In a medium bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Add flour mixture, and beat until smooth. Fold in walnuts and grated zucchini.
• Divide batter into 4 well greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted into middle of cake comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter two loaf pans.
• Mix kosher salt into zucchini and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to a strainer and rinse very thoroughly under cold water to remove salt. Let drain for 15 to 20 minutes before using.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl. Reserve until needed.
• Combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla in another large mixing bowl, and whisk until mixture is smooth and turns a pale yellow, about 1 minute. Grab a handful of the drained zucchini with both hands and squeeze out any excess water before transferring into the egg-sugar mixture. Repeat until all the zucchini has been transferred in.
• Pour in melted butter and stir until combined. Stir walnuts into the batter, followed by the flour mixture. Use a spatula to mix until the flour disappears.
• Transfer into the prepared loaf pans. Tap pans on the countertop to settle the batter.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown on top and a skewer poked in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, and then turn out on to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before serving.
