This cake was a hit at my last party! Everyone loved the unique flavor and the cream cheese frosting was a big hit. Will definitely be making this again.

I tried this recipe a few weeks ago and found it to be quite good. The zucchini gives the cake a nice moist texture and the lime cream cheese frosting is a refreshing twist on a classic.

I made this zucchini cake yesterday and it turned out amazing! The combination of the moist zucchini and the tangy lime cream cheese frosting was perfect. My family loved it so much that they requested I make it again next week.
