Zucchini Bread (Dena)

3 eggs

2 C. sugar

3 tsp vanilla

1 c. oil

2 c shredded zucchini

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

3 tsp. cinnamon

3 c. flour

(1 c. chopped nuts - optional)

Beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add sugar, vanilla and oil - blend well. Stir in zucchini. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Blend with cream mixture. (Add nuts if you want them). Pour batter into 2 greased and floured loaf pans. (It is also a good idea to cut a piece of wax paper to fit in the bottom of the pan - makes the bread eaiser to get out!) Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
