Our zucchini plants are out of control! We eat zucchini with at least 2 of our meals each day. I have had to get really creative with how I use it. My mom-in-law used to make this for my husband when he was growing up and he requested that I make it . . . it was a huge hit! Who would have thought that a veggie would make a moist and delicious cake? 🙂
