Zucchini Cake • Add Some Sugar To Your Mistake

Zucchini Cake is the best way to turn over-grown zucchini in something delicious.

Being a farmer means dealing we so many things. While you are taking care of your tomatoes or watering your cucumber you may forget about your zucchini. Zucchini are nice plants but at the peak of the season they can be very productive and if you don’t check them every day they easily overgrow. Overgrown zucchinis are not famous for good flavor, they are actually tasteless and you have to deal with big seeds. You can’t do much with these giant vegetables but turning them in a zucchini cake is absolutely the best alternative.
