How to Make Zucchini Pineapple Loaf Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans, or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until thick and foamy. Stir in 2 cups shredded zucchini and 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans and 1/2 cup raisins (optional).
  7. Divide batter evenly between prepared loaf pans or muffin cups (fill muffin cups almost to the top).
  8. Bake loaf cakes for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Bake muffins for 24-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Enjoy your delicious zucchini pineapple loaf cake or muffins!
