Zucchini Bread (That Doesn't Taste Like Zucchini!)

MrsKette's Note:

Someone brought this to my Christmas party and loved it! The taste reminded me a lot of the "kuchen" my German-Brazilian grandmother used to make in Brazil, when I was a kid. (By the way, this is how we make carrot cake in Brazil, using a blender; we just don't add the spices.)
