Steps

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch loaf pans. Can line with parchment, but not necessary.
2

Gather zucchini in a towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
3

In a large bowl, whisk together flour,baking powder and soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Stir your chopped nuts into the flour mixture. Set aside.
4

Whisk together melted butter and sugar. Add room temperature eggs. Stir in vanilla and orange juice.
5

Combine the flour mixture with the gooey sugary egg stuff and the little squeezed-dry bowl of produce.
6

Bake for 60 minutes at 350 degrees. I made one loaf and a bundt pan bread...could not find my pans. Cool completely on wire racks.
7

Prepare frosting. Beat cream cheese and butter together. Beat in 2 c. 10x. Drizzle in 2-3 T. Orange juice...until desired consistency is reached. Frost/glaze your breads.
