I debated on how to rate this recipe because the directions didn't say when to add the zucchini. I greased and floured the baking pan even though the directions didn't mention this. I was ready to pour the batter when I noticed my zucchini was still on the counter. I stirred it in at the last minute. The cake was done at about 45-50 minutes. I'm giving it 5 stars because the flavor was terrific! I really enjoyed this recipe. Good luck in the contest.
