Lemon Poppyseed Zucchini Cake

Hey Whiskers!
This cake is pretty much a match made in heaven for me. I love lemons and Poppy seeds,seperate together any sort of way. It is really one of my all time favorite flavor pairings. I love this recipe as it uses zucchini to give it moistness and also adds some vitamins to the cake-no it doesn't make it healthy-I wish, but it makes it more palatable as a dessert. I made this recipe non dairy but you can use milk if you prefer. I shredded the zucchini with the small blades in the food processor. Thats it really, just a simple delicious lemon poppyseed cake. Oh one last thing when you bake it,make sure to cover it after it starts to brown as it won't be done cooking just yet.
Till next time, keep whisking up love and happiness to those around you.
