Spiced Pumpkin and Zucchini Loaf
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x8-inch baking dishes.

  2. 2

    Sift the flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    In a second bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, pumpkin, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until combined; gently fold in the zucchini and walnuts. Divide the batter between the prepared baking dishes.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the cakes are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 60 minutes.

  5. 5

    Allow to cool on a rack for 20 minutes before removing from the pans to finish cooling.
