FANTASTIC Vegan cake. I made this in my bundt pan last week. I only had 1 cup of carrots and rest was zucchini, and I cut down a 1/4 of the sugar. Wow. Perfect and moist and yummy. My friends all said it was the best zucchini bread they have ever eaten, and vegan to boot. Everyone had seconds. Keeper!!!!
