BLUE RIBBON ZUCCHINI NUT BREAD

This is the best Zucchini Nut Bread I have ever had and the only one I will make. It's from "Country Fair Cookbook" All recipes in this book are Blue Ribbon winners from fairs around America prior to it's publication in 1975. Wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavor to mellow. I have also made this as muffins. Just lower the temperature. Now that I live in Australia I make this using the Aussie measuring cups and spoons and it turns out fine. I've also made it with half carrot and half zucchini. And other times I've used half wholewheat flour and half plain, just for a change and it works well too. My husband loves it and says it's more like a cake then a bread since it's so moist.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the batter mix more evenly and result in a more tender loaf of bread.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter loaf of bread.
Gradually add the eggs to the batter, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
