In the summer when zucchini is plentiful, I purée a bunch of it in a blender and put it in ziplock bags to place in the freezer. All winter I am able to enjoy delicious breads and cakes like this one.
Amish Zucchini Carrot Cake:
2 c flour
1 1/2 c sugar

1/4 t salt
1t baking powder
2 t soda
3/4 c oil
4 eggs
1 1/2 t vanilla

Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in a seperate bowl & add to the dry ingredients. Fold in the carrots & zucchini. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake for 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool completely and frost.
Frosting:
1 pkg cream cheese, softened
