Bronwyn’s Orange-flavored Zucchini Bread

Our daughter , Bronwyn, loves to make this bread for a party because the loaf looks so attractive sliced, with flecks of green showing, along with a touch of orange, all marbled with walnuts. It also tastes so good it disappears quickly. So if you are having more than six or eight friends in, you’d better double the recipe and make two loaves. Recipe from the The Book of Breads by Evan Jones.

Ingredients

SERVINGS: Makes one 9-inch loaf.
  • 1½ cups white flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt or ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup oil
  • 1½ cups grated zucchini
  • 1 teaspoon chopped orange peel (Rather than grating the peel, strip it from the orange and chop. It has more crunch this way.)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
