Ingredients

Servings:
2 cupzucchini (coarsely grated, about 2 medium)
1 tspsalt (divided: shreds and batter)
2 cupflour
1 tspbaking soda
½ tspbaking powder
2 tspcinnamon (ground)
¼ tspnutmeg (grated)
2 uniteggs
½ cupvegetable oil
¾ cupsugar
¼ cupbrown sugar
2 tspvanilla extract
¾ cupwalnuts (toasted, chopped)
½ cupraisins

Steps

  1. season12 min
    shreds salted, rested, squeezed ONCE
    the grated zucchini tossed with 1/2 tsp salt and left ten minutes, then gathered in a towel for one moderate squeeze — the calibrated middle of the water war: enough pressed out to save the crumb's center, enough left in to keep the name honest. The skins stay on; the green flecks are the point
  2. whisk2 min
    flour + soda + powder + cinnamon + nutmeg + remaining salt — soda for the browning, powder for the lift, the quick-bread standard pair
  3. whisk3 min
    wet: eggs + oil + both sugars + vanilla
    until thick and uniform — the oil-based batter that keeps quick breads moist for days, the same bet carrot cake makes and for the same reason
  4. fold3 min
    dry into wet, zucchini and walnuts last, minimal strokes
    combined to the last streak, shreds and nuts folded through — a shaggy, thick batter is right; a pourable one means the squeeze was skipped. Fold in the listed raisins with the zucchini and walnuts at the last streak of flour.
  5. bake60 min
    350°F, greased 9x5 loaf, tester clean at the center
    the long low bake all that moisture demands — the top cracks like every good quick bread, the tester goes into the crack's deepest point, and foil tents the top if it browns ahead of the middle; underbaked-center zucchini bread is the second most common failure after the unsqueezed kind
  6. rest15 min
    10 in the pan, then on a rack
    before slicing — and like its cousin the banana bread, it is genuinely better wrapped overnight, when the crumb settles from cakey to dense-moist and the cinnamon finds its level
