YUMMY ZUCCHINI COFFEE CAKE

Yummy Zucchini Coffee Cake image

The first time I made this, I gave some to my daughter, who hates zucchini, and she said it was the best thing I ever made! It has been an excellent and wholesome way to use up all of the zucchini from my garden. If using thawed shredded zucchini, make sure to drain very well. -Tammy Kirsch, Arcade, New York
