Ingredients
1 ½ cups grated zucchini
¾ cup sugar
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1-Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C): Prepare an 8-inch loaf pan by lining it with nonstick foil and spraying with cooking spray.
2-In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla, and eggs; mix well.
3-In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
4-Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
5-In another small bowl, whisk together the swirl ingredients: ¼ cup sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
6-Pour one-third of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Add another third of the batter, followed by the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top with the final third of batter.
7-Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
