After submitting the recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Cake, I looked up zucchini on the internet. There are so many recipes for using this very prolific summer squash; fritters, soups, casseroles, breads, dips and relish.

If someone sneaks zucchini into your garage, home or back seat of your car; I suggest searching for some of these recipes.

This recipe with cream frosting is one of my family’s favorites; actually I think it is the frosting that they really want.

Sometimes I sprinkle additional nuts on the frosting. Yummy!
