Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually beat in sugar, then oil. Add flour mixture alternately with zucchini into the egg mixture. Stir in the raisins, walnuts, and vanilla. Pour batter into two 9 x 5 inch greased and lightly floured loaf pans.

Step 3
