Just One More Bite... Orange Zucchini Cake

Wow! This was so light, so tangy, so easy to make, I can't help but want to make this anytime I need some dessert. My sister used an old recipe from my grandma and took a few liberties with it, I'm so glad she did! I normally don't like orange essence in desserts, but I'll make and exception for this tasty treat.
