Orange Zucchini Cake image

I got this recipe from one of the ladies I used to work with long ago (sorry, can't remember who). I like the idea of using All-Bran in the recipe, to make the cake somewhat healthier. Of course, I undo all the "healthy goodness", when I ice this cake with cream cheese frosting!

I was a bit hesitant to try this cake because I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I'm so glad I did! The zucchini adds a moistness and texture to the cake that is simply delightful. The orange flavor is also very refreshing.

This orange zucchini cake was a hit with my family and friends! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the orange and zucchini flavors complemented each other perfectly. I'll definitely be making this cake again soon.
