I was looking to bake something today and this recipe was in my must try. I made the mistake of putting it in 1larger loaf pan and had to let it bake a bit longer. I sprinkled the crumbs of my walnuts across the top and it gave a beautiful topping. I used 1 zucchini and 1 carrot . Excellent cake and with a serving of veggies PS I wont tell them

I am SO glad to have found this recipe. I love RecipeZaar! I am trying to not waste ANY food and had some zucchini to use up. Instead of 2 loaf pans, I greased up a large angel food cake pan. It works great! I put the whole recipe in the pan. I did the same for Banana Banana Bread Recipe #25885 last weekend. Yum! Thanks for this!

I totally agree that this recipe is wonderful! It is very similar to one I make except I add a can of crushed pineapple! Now, for those of you who don't really like pineapple...I'd like to ask you to just try it first! I have made this recipe many times for several different occasions and it always is gone before other recipes. I get compliments and request for the recipe and when I tell them what's in it, most are shocked because they don't usually care for pineapple (sometimes even zucchini). In fact, I am not able to freeze and save any. It never lasts that long. Good part is, it gives me an excuse to make more! Enjoy :-)
