Steps:
- In one bowl mix all ingredients. Will have some lumps and that is ok. As we age those lumps are badges of honor!
- Pour into 2 greased and floured bread loaf pans or 1 loaf pan and 12 muffin cups (lined).
- Cook for 45 minutes at 350°F.
- Muffins 25 minutes at 350°F.
- * Elevation and fuel will vary temps and times. (ex. my propane oven 45 minutes, my DD electric oven 53 min for loaves and similar for muffins).
- ** Tastes great with orange flavor as well, DD made with strawberry cake mix.
- *** NOT as dense as a quick bread but tastes oh so good and light.
- An aditional note: this freezes very well as muffins or bread/cake. I double wrap in plastic and then into a freezer bag. To thaw i take out of freezer bag and let come to room temp, take off plastic and set on paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. To warm just put into a warmed oven or microwave for 30 seconds in a paper towel.

Tips:
- Use a box cake mix that complements the flavor of zucchini. Some good options include vanilla, yellow, chocolate, and carrot cake mix.
- Grate the zucchini before adding it to the cake batter. This will help it distribute evenly and prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
- Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the cake batter. This will help prevent the cake from becoming too watery.
- Add other ingredients to the cake batter to enhance the flavor and texture. Some good options include chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, and spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Bake the cake according to the directions on the box cake mix, but check for doneness a few minutes early since zucchini can add moisture to the cake.
