I made this cake yesterday and my family loved it! I added zucchini last as it wasn't in the written instructions and I overlooked it ??... I was a little worried but it turned out wonderfully. I didn't have cinnamon candies so I substituted raisins and added a little more cinnamon. Today I'm making it to bring to a party and hope to get a photo before it's gone! I will bake it at the same temperature but perhaps for a little less time, my oven may run hot. I frosted with a cream cheese frosting. Thank you for this great recipe.
