Garden Harvest Cake from Cooking Light Magazine is a quick and easy zucchini bread made with apples, carrots and nuts. It was a finalist in the Cooking Light Ultimate Reader Recipe Contest. The recipe calls for an 8×4 inch pan, which is what I used for the loaf in the first picture. The loaf in the second picture was made in a 9×5 inch pan, so it’s short. So this is an example of why you should try to use the correct size loaf pan. That said, the bread is really good no matter what size pan you use.
