Recipes Fruits and Vegetables Vegetables Squash Zucchini Spice Cake 4.7 (103) 80 Reviews 5 Photos This zucchini spice recipe is a dense cake reminiscent of carrot cake. I created the dish to make use of a bumper crop of zucchini and to get my kids to eat more fruits and veggies without them knowing it. I frequently add an extra cup of stir-ins — raisins, flaked coconut, and walnuts or pecans are favorites.
