Orange Zucchini Cake image

I got this recipe from one of the ladies I used to work with long ago (sorry, can't remember who). I like the idea of using All-Bran in the recipe, to make the cake somewhat healthier. Of course, I undo all the "healthy goodness", when I ice this cake with cream cheese frosting!
