ZUCCHINI CAKE

New and improved! This delicious yet simple Zucchini Cake is made moist with fresh garden zucchini and walnuts. The warm spices of cinnamon and nutmeg, along with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting, take the flavor over the top. I love to take this cake to potlucks and family functions, as it is always a huge hit.

This time of the year, so many garden growers have oodles and oodles of zucchini. We are zucchini-eating fools here. This scrumptious cake is one of our favorite zucchini recipes.

This cake is made in three easy steps. First, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then in a separate large bowl, stir together the grated zucchini, eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in several increments mixing just until combined. Then fold in the chopped walnuts.
