Mom'S Zucchini Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
3 tablespoons freshly-grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon orange extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans
1 cup grated zucchini, heaping, skins on
1 1/2 cups flour

Preparation

In mixer, beat together all ingredients except zucchini, nuts, and flour. In grating the lemon peel, I find it much faster & easier to just use the small side of a standard cheese grater than to use a lemon zester. The peel from about half a medium-sized lemon should do fine.
Mix well, then add in nuts and grated zucchini. Slowly mix in flour.
Bake in greased 9\" X 5\" loaf pan, at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes (until test knife comes out clean or top of loaf springs back when pressed with finger; do not overbake).
