Categories     Bread

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
zest and juice of 1 large orange
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cardamom (optional)
1/4 tsp. baking soda
2 cups grated zucchini
zest and juice of 1 large orange
3 tbsp. butter (melted)
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, and orange zest and juice.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cardamom, and baking soda.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, along with the zucchini, and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • If you'd like to add any nuts, fold in about 1 cup chopped nuts.
  • Line two loaf pans with foil or parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the pans. This is a MUST - bread wants to stick to pan. Coat with non-stick spray.
  • Divide batter between prepared pans.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until tops and edges are golden, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Remove pans to a wire rack to cool for 15-20 minutes. Do not cool in pan -- bread likes to stick.
  • Run a knife along any edges that may have seeped and stuck to the pan.
  • Remove loaves from pan using the foil or parchment paper edges. Cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, prepare glaze.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all glaze ingredients until smooth.
  • Depending on how juicy your orange was, you may need to add a little water or more powdered sugar! You should be able to drizzle or pour it, but it shouldn't easily run off the bread.
  • Drizzle glaze over cooled loaves. Cut and serve.
