Menu Monday

Everyone please check out this post today! It made me cry!

(not that that is difficult lately)

Zucchini Bread

3 eggs

2 cups grated zucchini

1 cup oil

2 cups sugar

3 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp Cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp nutmeg

Mix first 4 ingredients until well blended, add remaining and bake at 350° for about 45 minutes.

This is the simplest recipe for zucchini bread, however you do need to watch the time because that isn't exact it is an estimate, I honestly can't remember how long I bake it every time and I forget to write it down.

As part of menu Monday I am also posting my latest attempts at cake...

So attempt #2 was pretty and had some piping work on it but it wasn't the greatest tasting, it was a basic yellow cake with white chocolate pudding filling. It had a chocolate butter cream frosting and basic butter cream frosting for the piping. It was my first try at piping and I obviously need a lot of practice.

Attempt #3 didn't get many points for technical merit but it was kind of pretty. I did make the chocolate curls on top, you can't see the white ones that well but they looked a lot better than the dark ones. The best part about this one was what S said about it.

"I usually am not much of a chocolate cake fan, but I have to say that is the best cake I have ever eaten!"

It was devils food cake that I made with cake flour instead of just all purpose. It had a basic butter cream frosting, I have to admit it was spectacular!
