Excellent recipe! A wonderfully flavorful cake which everyone enjoyed. I used the food processor to make the ground almonds. Topping with toasted almonds made the cake look as good as it tasted. Not only did friends enjoy they asked for the recipe. Adding this one to my 'zucchini favorites' Thanks Dotty for another of your great tasting recipes!
