Lemon Blueberry Zucchini Cake

Here is another new way I found to use up my zucchini. I love lemon and blueberries together, so why not add zucchini? I found this lemon blueberry zucchini cake recipe at Kara’s Kitchen Creations. This cake turned out delicious. It was dense and moist. I don’t think you’d ever guess it was made with zucchini. My only complaint was there were so many blueberries in there I didn’t get to appreciate the cake as much as I’d like to. So next time, I’m gonna reduce the blueberries to 1 1/2 cups. You could even forgo the frosting. The cake would be great by itself, but it’s even better with frosting.
