Zesty Zucchini Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon orange zest
3 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ginger (or more to taste)
2 cups zucchini, grated and drained on paper towels (do not peel)
1 cup walnuts, chopped (delicious) (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350. Grease (I use butter) two 9 x 5 bread pans.
Beat eggs well. Add sugar, oil, zests, and zucchini. Mix well.
Combine all dry ingredients (except nuts) in a separate bowl and mix.
Add to zucchini mixture and stir just until combined. It may still be a little lumpy.
Fold in walnuts, if using, and pour into prepared pans.
Bake for 65 minutes or until done, using a toothpick to test center. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done.
Cool for 10 to 15 minutes in pans on a rack. Then remove loaves from pans, and allow to cool completely on rack.
