Cardamom Coffee Zucchini Bread

Okay Peeps, here's the 4th in a week's worth of zucchini breads.  Today's recipe for Cardamom Coffee Zucchini Bread comes from Jaden over at Steamy Kitchen.  I'm a big fan of the flavors of cardamom and coffee, but had never tasted them together so I was very eager to give this bread a try.  It's unique and sophisticated and not overly sweet - good snack in the afternoon with a smear of salted butter.  To see other zucchini bread recipes, click on the links below:
