* I used freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
3 eggs, room temperature

INSTRUCTIONS
• Preheat oven at 350˚ F.
• Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, spices and baking soda.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy.
• Add sugar and continue beating until well blended.
• Stir in oil, vanilla, zucchini, pecans, chocolate chips and orange zest.
• Stir in sifted ingredients.
• Pour into prepared loaf pans.
• Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Remove loaves from pans and cool.
• Chill before slicing.

** ADDIECAKES' NOTES **
• This recipe can be done without the use of a mixer.
• The orange zest was a bit too strong, so you may want to add less than the amount called for.
