Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan. I always use this glass pan.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and other spices together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk the oil, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses (if using) together in a medium bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold in the shredded apple until combined.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
- Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
- Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, pecans, coconut, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, vanilla and eggs and stir in the grated zucchini. Fold this into the dry ingredients. The batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together. If it still seems too dry, just add a little more milk.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs and the cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla just until smooth. Add the milk if necessary.
- Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped pecans.

Long-standing family favorite. I prefer mine made with chopped dates. Food processor makes it so easy. Adapted from The Pleasures of Your Food Processor by Norene Gilletz.

Steps:
- Best if prepared with food processor:.Process dry ingredients about 10 seconds to blend. Empty into a large mixing bowl. Process nuts until chopped, about 6 seconds. Empty into a small bowl.
- Using grater: Grate unpeeled zucchini, using medium pressure. Empty into a measuring cup and measure loosely packed.
- Steel knife: process eggs with sugar for 1 minute. Do not insert pusher in feed tube. While machine running, Add oil and vanilla through tube. Process about 45 seconds. Add zucchini and process 8-10 seconds. Remove cover and add dry ingredients. SEE NOTE. Process 3 or 4 quick bursts, just until flour disappears. Sprinkle nuts and raisins over batter . Give 1 0r 2 more quick bursts.
- Pour batter into greased and floured 9" by 13" baking pan, or 12-cup Bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes, or until cake tests done. Cool 15 minutes before removing from pan. Can be iced or glazed when cool, but it's great just plain. Keeps very well in fridge and freezes well.
- NOTE: This amount of batter will nearly completely FILL the bowl of standard sized food processors, but probably not overflow. You can add zucchini mixture to dry ingredients in mixing bowl, Mix with wooden spoon until blended then add nuts and raisins, or dates.

This recipe is pretty close to bizzare, but it is very "tasty" and moist. I was dubious about it, but I did try and am really glad I did. Try it...

ZUCCHINI RAISIN COOKIES
This favorite old recipe means a lot to me, since it was given to me by a good friend. That friend, in turn, received it from her great-grandmother. I'm always looking for ways to use zucchini (I even add it to my spaghetti sauce), so this was a welcome addition to my recipe file.
