I've already tried a zucchini cake and I loved it. Zucchini-coconut is a really unusual and very original combination. Your cake intrigues me a lot and I think it's really very good. I note the recipe, I want to try it as soon as possible. Bye, have a great week
ReplyDeleteThe coconut is the perfect touch.
ReplyDeletewow! what a cool recipe! Can't wait to try it out. it sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe just made 6 loaves of zucchini bread and froze them. I wish I had this recipe before so we could have changed it up a little.
ReplyDeleteI love zucchini bread. I just had a piece a few days ago, but it didn't have coconut in it. I'll bet that's delicious.
ReplyDeleteI bet this is a moist slice of bread here.
ReplyDeleteWow! Coconut and zucchini! I never would have thought but the combination sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteLast fall I made a bunch of ginger pumpkin bread...inspired by all of the ginger pumpkin bread I was buying at Starbucks everyday ... so I think I'm going to try this for something new but what do you think about walnuts over pecans...I'm not a big fan of pecans =)
ReplyDeleteI am such a fan of zucchini bread, in fact, I was thinking of making some this afternoon with some leftover zucchini from yesterdays meal.
ReplyDeleteYour zucchini bread looks really awesome!
ReplyDeleteOooh, the coconut is such a great touch here. Would have never thought to add that to zucchini bread, yum :)
ReplyDeleteHey this is a great bread, I love the coconut in it. Great way to use zucchini if you are growing it.
ReplyDeleteThank You.
Both versions are incredibly yummy sounding! I wish I had a piece of each for breakfast right now!
ReplyDeletebeautiful and sounds so flavorful,,, love it
ReplyDeletehey, what happened to the Tomato Escarole Chicken Bean Soup I saw in reader, can't find it on your blog but is sho do look good
Oh, this bread looks fabulous, Claudia!!! Love the addition of coconut~
ReplyDeleteLove the combination of zucchini and coconut - this is a must try! Hope that you have a wonderful weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great combination to try and the bread looks lovely
ReplyDeleteflavourful looking cake Claudia
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks awesome. What an unusual combination. I want to make that - tweaked to be lower carb. Thanks for sharing. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWe love zucchini bread; but, I've never made it with coconut or chocolate. What a great idea! I have some zucchini in my fridge that is begging to be bread. I like the idea of splitting the batter and making more than one kind. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mix of ingredients. Coconut and zucchini go beautifully together. I would totally add in the chocolate chips. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love zucchini bread, I love chocolate and I love coconut. can't wait to put all three in one delicious loaf. Thanks for sharing Claudia!
