| H's garden is just gorgeous...tomatoes, bell peppers, and lots of zucchini! So....He made us a batch of Double Chocolate...Double Nut Zucchini Bread. It is so yummy! |
 |
| I call it Double Chocolate because in addition to the regular cocoa in the recipe, he also adds chocolate chips! |
 |
| I call it Double Nut because in addition to the chopped nuts in the recipe, he also adds a generous sprinkling of nuts on top of the frosting. I should rename it Triple Chocolate since it also has chocolate frosting! |
 |
| This is the entrance to H's garden..... |
 |
| The bed of squash plants is literally a bed...lol! The plants are in a vintage iron full size bed frame. We have zucchini, yellow straight neck, and white patty pan squash planted. |
 |
| We still have lots of blooms on the plants. |
 |
| This recipe makes three large loaves...1 to eat and 2 to freeze for later. 3 cups of flour 1/4 cup of cocoa powder 1 T cinnamon 1 t baking soda 1/2 t baking powder 1 t salt Mix all the dry ingredients well In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients 2 cups sugar 3 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil 2 t vanilla Beat well and then stir in 2 cups of grated zucchini Combine the dry and wet ingredients then add 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of walnuts. Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Frost with your favorite frosting or just dust with powdered sugar. |
