ZUCCHINI-PINEAPPLE LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees (second lowest rack).
• Grease two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans, or mini loaf pans.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla, continue beating until thick and foamy with a spoon, then stir in shredded zucchini and pineapple.
• Combine remaining dry ingredients together, then gently stir into zucchini/pineapple mixture just until blended.
• Add the chopped nut and raisins; stir to combine.
• Divide the batter evenly between two greased and floured 9x5 loaf pans.
• Bake for 1 hour or until cake tests done.
• Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing.
• Muffin Variation: follow above recipe except nearly fill paper-lined muffin cups.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 24-30 minutes.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cake batter: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, 1/2 stick butter, the shortening, milk, eggs, vanilla and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until well combined. (There will still be a few small lumps in the batter.) Set aside.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; swirl to thoroughly coat the skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter, making sure it's evenly distributed-you want the entire surface of the butter to be covered in brown sugar. Do not stir. As soon as the sugar dissolves, remove from the heat and layer the pineapple slices over the top. If desired, place maraschino cherries in the centers of the pineapple slices.
• Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple slices and gently spread to even out the top. Bake the cake 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Immediately run a knife around the edge of the cake, then put a plate upside down on top of the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet so the cake is turned onto the plate. It should come out pretty easily; if bits of cake stick to the skillet, use a small knife to patch it together. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges. It's best served warm.

ZUCCHINI-PINEAPPLE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
• Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and allspice in a small mixing bowl.
• Beat the sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined. Mix in the zucchini and pineapple. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in the raisins.
• Pour half the batter into each loaf pan. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then carefully turn out the loaves to finish cooling on a wire rack.

ZUCCHINI PINEAPPLE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 9-inch bread pans and set aside.
• 2. In a mixing bowl beat eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla until nice and thick.
• 3. Add zucchini, pineapple, and mashed bananas. Mix together.
• 4. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
• 5. Add to the egg mixture and stir until the flour is just moistened.
• 6. Fold in nuts.
• 7. Divide batter evenly between the two bread pans and bake for about 55 minutes. Do the toothpick test to make sure it is done.
• 8. Let the finished bread cool about 15 minutes before removing from pans.
• 9. Keep one loaf for yourself and give the other one away. The bread freezes well if you want to have something on hand for unexpected company.

ZUCCHINI CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, pecans, coconut, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, vanilla and eggs and stir in the grated zucchini. Fold this into the dry ingredients. The batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together. If it still seems too dry, just add a little more milk.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs and the cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla just until smooth. Add the milk if necessary.
• Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped pecans.
