Zucchini Bread With Cream Cheese-Sour Cream Frosting
- 2 cups Grated Zucchini
- 2/3 cups Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 cups Granular Sugar
- 1/2 cups Golden Brown Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 3/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 3/4 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, Preferrable Freshly Grated
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Ginger, Grated
- 3/4 cups Dried Currants (or Other Dried Fruit Of Choice)
- 1/2 cups Dark Rum Or Kahlua (enough To Cover Currants)
- 3/4 cups Pecans, Chopped (or Other Nut Of Choice)
- _____
- FOR FROSTING:
- 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese (Room Temperature)
- 4 Tablespoons Sour Cream
- 4 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons Dark Rum
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
- 1. Begin by macerating the currants in the dark rum. By the time everything else is mixed, they will have plumped up enough to use. Grease a 9.25" x 5.25" bread pan and set aside.
- 2. Grate zucchini into a large bowl. Add vegetable oil, sugars, and beaten egg and mix until well combined.
- 3. Put flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a sifter, then sift into the zucchini mix. Add sea salt, cinnamon, and ginger then gently stir until just combined. DO NOT OVER-MIX.
- 4. Drain currants, then add the currants and pecans to the zucchini mix and stir a couple times until it is just mixed.
- 5. Pour into a greased bread pan, place on a baking sheet and put in the oven. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a tester toothpick comes out clean. (If the top starts to brown too much, place a sheet of aluminum foil over the loaf to protect it.)
- 6. Remove from the oven and allow bread to cool a bit.
- To make the cream cheese/sour cream frosting, whisk all frosting ingredients until well combined and smooth. Frost at will.
