I add a bit more zucchini and the first time I tried this I was amazed that you couldn't tell unless you look hard that there is zucchini in it. Makes the cake a bit more healthy than others.My 5 yr old granddaughter asks for this cake and then tries to eat it all!

No frosting is necessary and when I bake this the pan barely cools before someone is into it!
