1 cup sunflower/vegetable/canola oil

3 cups flour

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or sunflower seeds

1/2 cup crushed pineapple

2 cups zucchini (shredded with peel on)

1/2 cup chocolate chips

3 tsp vanilla

sift together and add to mixture:

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

Beat together eggs and sugar for 5 minutes.  Add all other ingredients in order above.  Make sure flour is well blended before all other ingredients are added.  Grease and flour your pan, and bake for about an hour (checking after 50 minutes).  Cool off and dust with icing sugar if desired.
