Zucchini Cake

I got this recipe from my friend Coral Lee Findlay when we both lived in Elko, NV.  We had a homemaking meeting with all Zucchini recipies - Yummy!  This cake is one of my favorite of all time - kind of like a carrot cake.  I shred zucchini and freeze it so that we can enjoy some of these recipes all year long.
