I got this recipe from Libby years ago and have enjoyed it a lot. Craig came to visit us for a few days this week and brought zucchini so I made the cake. Clair, Jen, and Grayson came yesterday so we all had a chance to enjoy the cake. One of the best things about this recipe is that it needs no frosting although it is delicious with a cream cheese frosting or any other kind, and you can make some variations using things that you like, such as chocolate chips, raisens, nuts, and this time I used cinnamon chips. I also modified it by using half the oil called for and replacing it with applesauce. Turned out very moist and delicious.
