Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, dusting it with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated zucchini until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: milk, vegetable oil, and egg, whisking until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently just until combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not oversqueeze the grated zucchini; some moisture is essential for a tender loaf. Avoid overmixing to keep soft texture. Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for best results.
