When Life Gives you Zucchini, you make cake!

The single zucchini from our garden. Looks ginormous next to a mini muffin yes?



Wednesday kept calling it a "Keemy" and asking to hold on to it.



This was probably the most moist, the most tasty, the most delicious cake bread I have had in ages. I wish I could take credit for the recipe but alas I cannot. I just baked it to perfection. The recipe came via someone on my friends list on Livejournal. It is here at Virtual Cities. I will paste the text out for you too though.

Lemon/Blueberry Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

4 eggs

2 cups sugar

1 cup canola oil

3-1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

4 teaspoons baking powder

Juice of 1 lemon

Chopped zest of 1 lemon

2 cups grated zucchini

1 cup frozen Maine wild blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour two 5 x 9-inch loaf pans. Beat eggs; add sugar and beat until well mixed. Add canola oil and beat well. Add lemon juice, zest, and zucchini and mix well with a wooden spoon.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, soda, and baking powder together. Add to the zucchini mixture; mix well. Fold in the blueberries. Pour mixture into the loaf pans and bake approximately 55 minutes until done (test with a cake tester). Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes prior to removing from pans.

Totally worth the effort it takes to grow, pick, shave and shred the zucchini!
