Zucchini Cake

Today, I made some zucchini cake and I thought I would share the recipe with you. This is a recipe from my mom and it is so good! Dad has a garden this year and he had given me some huge zucchini. I remembered mom used to make zucchini cake and bread when we were little whenever she had an abundance of zucchini. I only used about 1/4 of the zucchini for the cake so I went ahead and shredded the rest and put it in the freezer in freezer bags in 3 cup portions. That way, I will have it whenever I want to make another cake.
