My freezer is already packed with an assortment of zucchini loaf cakes. I wanted to make something a bit different, This is a Taste of Home recipe that makes 2, 9 inch cakes, each to provide 8 wedges. It's a contest winner, extremely moist, needs no glaze or frosting. Read more Since I had frozen cranberries in the freezer, this was a great recipe to use them. The texture I found is so very different than all the other zucchini cakes I made; superb I think.Do give this a try. See less
