Have been having so much zucchini out of our garden that I've been developing new ways to use it........here the newest recipe I've created. It turned out to be a winner!!! Everyone loves it. This would also be good with your favorite glaze, but it is sooooooo moist you really do not need anything more than the dusting of powdered sugar. I would venture to say, this is the most moist cake I've ever eaten...yummm!!! This is from a couple of years back...I created this in '2009' (pix are from the first time I baked it, but not the last). Zucchini is about read to be picked in my garden, so I'll be making this again the summer.

    I made this one in 2006 adding shredded carrots into the batter and topping it off with a glaze. Sometimes I go all out and put in the shredded Zucchini, Carrots and Crushed Pineapple. I love changing up this cake.......yum yum (for some reason I have not been able to add pix on JAP for several days now)
