This recipe makes for a good use of zucchini and it is a satisfying and moist tasty cake. I made a cream cheese frosting to top it off. We enjoyed it overall, but though I used unsulphured molasses, we found that the molasses overpowered the flavors making it the star of the dish. Thank you Mikekey for sharing. Made it for Billboard tag.
