Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups canola oil
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons rum extract
- 1 - 8 ounce can crushed pineapple, drained (save juice)
- 3 cups shredded zucchini
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 2 teaspoons cake spice
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- cinnamon sugar, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 - 9x5 loaf pans with non-stick baking spray. (I prefer Baker's Joy.) Sprinkle the pan with cinnamon sugar, if desired.
- Mix together the oil, sugars, and eggs. Add the zucchini, pineapple, and extracts until mixed in.
- Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cake spice. Slowly add to the wet mixture.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the two prepared pans. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Remove and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then flip out onto a wire rack or plate to cool completely.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and 4 tablespoons of the saved pineapple juice.
- Drizzle over the top of the loaves. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired. Store in a sealed container.
Notes
- Spray your bread pan with a nonstick baking spray like Baker's Joy, so the bread doesn't stick to the pan.
- Sprinkle the pan with cinnamon sugar to give the outside of the pineapple bread a sweet crunch.
- Use small to medium sized zucchinis for shredding because they are sweeter and have more moisture. Generally larger zucchinis are dryer and will not have as much moisture in them.
- Add 1 cup of your favorite chopped nuts, raisins, or shredded coconut to the batter before baking.
