ZUCCHINI ORANGE DATE NUT BREAD - DEE DEE'S

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, cooking oil and sugar together until creamy and well blended; add zucchini, orange peel, orange juice, dates, nuts and vanilla; mix well. Set aside.
• Stir the flour mixture into the creamy ingredients. Stir until well blended
• Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan; pour in the batter and bake for about 45 minutes or until well done. IT TOOK ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS IN MY OVEN! My oven is new. So, just make sure it's done before removing from oven. I used a cake tester to test, tested until it came out clean. You can use a toothpick for same results.
• NOTE: When I poured the ingredients in the pan, I was certain this batter would rise and run over in to the oven so I placed a piece of aluminum foil under the pan in case it did. It did rise about 1-inch over the top of pan, but it didn't run over. Perhaps this could be put into 2 loaf pans and baked for 45 minutes.
• Serving suggestions: Spread with cream cheese to serve.
