ZUCCHINI SPICE CAKE
I created this recipe to use up a bumper crop of zucchini and to get my kids to eat more fruits and veggies without them knowing it. It is a dense cake reminiscent of carrot cake. I frequently add in an extra cup of stir-ins. Raisins, flake coconut, and walnuts or pecans are favorites.

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERSCOTCH CAKE WITH PENUCHE FROSTING
My aunt, who was born in the 1920s, passed this recipe down to me. She made the cake from scratch from start to finish because she didn't have modern amenities to help her in the kitchen. The penuche frosting goes with the cake nicely. -Beth Vorst, Columbus Grove, Ohio

Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini. Fresh zucchini has a higher moisture content than older zucchini, which will result in a more moist cake.
- Grate the zucchini finely. Finely grated zucchini will distribute more evenly throughout the cake batter and will not weigh the cake down.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake the cake, as this will result in a dry cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
Zucchini spice cake with penuche frosting is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is made with fresh zucchini, which gives it a unique flavor and texture. The penuche frosting is a sweet and creamy frosting that complements the cake perfectly. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
