My mom makes chocolate zucchini bread.  Well, she did when we were kids.  I don’t think they eat so much dessert foods now that we’re grown.  Regardless, I asked her to send me the old recipe.  The poor card has seen better days!

I’ll do my best to get those interpreted correctly here.

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ C flour (unsifted)
• 2 C sugar
• ½ C cocoa [presumably Dutch processed but certainly powder]
• 3 eggs
• 2 ½ t baking powder
• 2 t vanilla
• 1 ½ t [baking] soda
• 2 t orange peel (grated) [zest]
• 1 t salt
• 1 t cinnamon
• 2 C zucchini (shredded)
• ¾ C butter or margarine [seriously, butter though]
• ½ C milk
• [ewe] 1 C pecans or walnuts (chopped) [No nuts!  obviously optional]

Directions:

• Pour [something] greased and floured [something] [maybe cake] pan or Bundt pan
• [over]
• Bake 350° for 1 hr
• Cool in pan for 15 min
• Turn out on wire rack
• Cool thoroughly
• Glaze

Glaze:

• 2 C powdered sugar
• 3 T milk
• 1 t vanilla

I have no specific memory have actually eating it, but I know we greatly enjoyed doing so.

Enjoy!
