Mom'S Spiced Zucchini Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or more to taste
2 cups shredded zucchini
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
Beat sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth; fold in zucchini. Stir flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, baking powder, and cloves together in a separate bowl; gradually stir into sugar mixture until batter is mixed. Fold walnuts and raisins into the batter; pour into the prepared loaf pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
