What gardener doesn't have extra zucchini? When it's abundant, I shred and freeze plenty so I have it on hand to bake this moist zucchini cake recipe all year long. The cream cheese frosting is yummy, and the big panful always goes fast at picnics or potlucks. -Marie Hoyer, Hodgenville, Kentucky

CARROT ZUCCHINI WALNUT CAKE
I created this recipe one day to satisfy several cravings. There are several shortcuts possible to make this recipe faster to make. For example, buying carrots already shredded then chopping them finer in a food processor would work fine. The flax/water mixture can be replaced by one medium sized banana, though I have not tested it for taste.
