This 2008 Cooking Light Ultimate Reader Recipe Contest winner quickly became one of my baking main-stays. Often I'll double the batch and freeze the extra loaf. I've adapted Jennifer Dunklee's original recipe by adding whole wheat flour, nutmeg and cloves while decreasing cinnamon and maintaining apple skin. You can find the original thanks to internetnut; just search Food.com for "Garden Harvest Cake".

Yield 8 slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup apple, grated (about 1 small Granny Smith)
1/2 cup carrot, grated (about 1 small)
1/2 cup zucchini, shredded (about 1/2 small)
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup fat-free buttermilk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
cooking spray

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Combine flours and next five ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl until dry ingredients are well blended.
In a separate small bowl whisk together canola oil, buttermilk and eggs. (Kitchen tip: sour milk can substitute for buttermilk. Milk can be soured by adding a small dash of vinegar to a bit less than 1/4 milk. Let milk sour for a few minutes before mixing into wet ingredients.).
Add wet mixture to dry mixture, stirring until moist. Fold in grated apple, zucchini and carrots and walnuts, mixing until evenly distributed throughout batter.
Pour batter into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
Measure accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the most precise results.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the bread will be. Look for fresh vegetables and fruits, and use high-quality flour and butter.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs a warm place to rise in order to double in size. You can place the dough in a warm oven or on a heating pad.
Bake the bread at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven is important for baking bread. Make sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the bread.
