Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch ground cloves
  • Pinch ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup diced peeled apple
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease and flour two 8×4-inch loaf pans, and line them with parchment paper.
  2. Place the shredded zucchini inside a clean kitchen towel; twist and squeeze out the excess moisture.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, orange juice, and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture along with the shredded carrots, drained zucchini, diced apple, and chopped pecans.
  6. Divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Allow the loaves to cool completely before applying any glaze.

Notes

For a cream cheese glaze, beat softened cream cheese and butter, gradually add powdered sugar, and adjust consistency with orange juice as needed.
