Five Spice is often associated with savory cooking, but its warm notes of cinnamon, fennel, clove, and pepper also pair beautifully with baked goods and fruit. This blueberry zucchini bread is moist, fragrant, and full of juicy berries with just enough Five Spice to add warmth and depth without overpowering the cake. It is equally good warm with coffee in the morning, sliced as an afternoon snack, or wrapped up to share with friends.
