Update on the Zucchini Cake Bake Off

Update on my family's 

Zucchini Cake Bake Off

I had thrown out a challenge to my older brother, Bill

to make this cake too, since all the other

siblings in the family had given it a try.

Bill is NOT a cook,

so the challenge was actually

an inside joke to my sister Nancy and 

brother Rick.

Well, he still isn't baking,

but his sweet wife Pat

has come through for him!

You can see her cake above.

According to Pat via a Facebook post,

"Susan, Bill didn't bake it but he sure is eating his share of it!!"

Yea Pat!

Bill and Pat.

My Family's Zucchini Cake Bake Off

It all started with an excess of zucchini.

Last time I visited my parents and Nancy,

their garden was producing zucchini big time.

Nancy loaded me up with it when I returned home.

Since then I have been baking

Zucchini Bread

and now have 16 loaves in my freezer.

(Don't ask why.)

Nancy, on the other hand found a recipe for a wonderful sounding

Zucchini Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting.

It was a hit...

...and was declared "a winner" by my Dad.

You'd have to know him to know

what high praise that is.

At any rate, Nancy's cake was enough to inspire our

brother Rick, who lives in Germany and is

quite the cook to give the cake a try.

His cake was a success too!

Well, that was more than I could stand.

I needed to make this cake too!

(I cannot let my little sister and little brother

get ahead of me in the cooking department...)

YUM!!!

I served it yesterday to my knitting group 

who were meeting here.

I didn't hear any complaints.

(You can find the original recipe here.)

So, I am laying down the gauntlet to my other brother Bill,

SHOW US WHAT YOU'VE GOT!
