- 1 ¼ cups granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar (or 1/2 tsp baking powder)

Notes
Cream of tartar gives a true snickerdoodle flavor and a lighter, cake-like texture. If you don’t have it, use baking powder in the batter and omit from the topping. Do not dry the zucchini before adding; the extra moisture keeps the bread tender. Store leftovers wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
