My mom would always put a bumper crop of zucchini to use with this wonderful quick bread. It can be spiced or sweet, a loaf or a Bundt cake. Mom preferred to keep the spices and chocolate separate, but I like them combined. Either way, this unusual family favorite is sure to please your family and guests just as it has mine.
