How To Make zucchini cake, grandma w

  • Step 1
    In blender puree zucchini until smooth. You need 1 1/2 cups pureed for the recipe. Oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9x13. Combine all but nuts in a large bowl. Blend until just mixed, then beat on high 2 min or until smooth, scraping bowl. Stir in walnuts. Bake 30-35 min or until toothpick is clean. Cool completely in pan.
  • Step 2
    NOTE: the original recipe says frost with sour cream frosting, but I could never find any recipe for that, so I assume she meant to frost with a cream cheese frosting.
