Steps:
- In one bowl mix all ingredients. Will have some lumps and that is ok. As we age those lumps are badges of honor!
- Pour into 2 greased and floured bread loaf pans or 1 loaf pan and 12 muffin cups (lined).
- Cook for 45 minutes at 350°F.
- Muffins 25 minutes at 350°F.
- * Elevation and fuel will vary temps and times. (ex. my propane oven 45 minutes, my DD electric oven 53 min for loaves and similar for muffins).
- ** Tastes great with orange flavor as well, DD made with strawberry cake mix.
- *** NOT as dense as a quick bread but tastes oh so good and light.
- An aditional note: this freezes very well as muffins or bread/cake. I double wrap in plastic and then into a freezer bag. To thaw i take out of freezer bag and let come to room temp, take off plastic and set on paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. To warm just put into a warmed oven or microwave for 30 seconds in a paper towel.

Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: For the best results, use fresh, young zucchini that are small and tender. This will ensure that your cake has a delicate flavor and texture.
- Grate the zucchini finely: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the batter and prevent it from becoming too watery.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking this cake is 350°F (175°C). This will allow it to cook through evenly without becoming overdone.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.

This quick zucchini cake made with a cake mix is a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for summer potlucks, picnics, and bake sales. With its moist texture, delicate flavor, and simple ingredients, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you have an abundance of zucchini, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
