DEE'S BLUE RIBBON ZUCCHINI CAKE/BREAD



Dee's Blue Ribbon Zucchini Cake/Bread image

I have hesitated to post this recipe because there are so many zucchini cake/bread recipes already posted here. However, since I have retired from "semi-commercial" baking, I thought I would start posting some of "those secret" recipes. This recipe won 2 blue ribbons for me at the tri-county Altamont Fair in 1987.
