Orange zucchini bread (Cake de zapallitos con jugo de naranja)

I love used grated zucchini on cakes because are healthy and moist!

Try this zucchini bread infunsed with orange: really awesome.

And I love having a slice in the morning for breakfast.

I used 4 mini loafs for bake but you can change by 1 loaf pan.
