Perfect. I didn't have the orange zest, added raisins. Baked 50 min, and may have been 5 min too long, or that I baked in 2 9x5 pans. Any ideas on size of loaf pans? Will shorten next time, but I chalk that up to oven variances, not your recipe. My husband has given this a Top 5 spot, which is not to be snickered at! Will make again, and again. And will try to have the orange zest at hand, that sounds even better. Thanks for the most special recipe.

What a delicious bread/cake!!! I put it together just as written, leaving the walnuts out. However, I did bake it in a bundt pan and poured a glaze made with the leftover pineapple juice over the top. This turned out wonderul!! Will be making this again and again. Thank you Babs for posting this delicious sweet treat that uses up the zucchini that is bountiful from my garden right now. :)shirley(:
