My favorite recipe for zucchini bread with a hint of coconut. Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible after grating, otherwise, the bread will be too mushy.
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1.25 cups white sugar
- 0.75 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 large eggs , lightly beaten
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
-
2
Place grated zucchini in a colander in the sink. Squeeze out as much liquid with your hands as possible.
-
3
Combine flour, coconut flakes, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
-
4
Beat sugar, oil, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Mix in zucchini and eggs. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
-
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour.
-
6
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

Italian Fig Cookies (Cuccidati)
Cuccidati are Italian cookies with a sticky fig filling — think fancy, gourmet version of a fig Newton! They are traditionally served at Christmas time in Italy and I finally nailed an old family recipe. The fig and date filling is wrapped in a soft, sweet dough, then baked and dipped in festive frosting decorated with sprinkles. These are perfect for gifting!

This is a take on Key Lime Cake III, but after some experimenting, I find this recipe is moister, more flavorful, and easier to make.
