Zucchini Kuchen (Gorgeous Zucchini Cake) image

This zucchini cake recipe is from my grandmother--she used to pass the zucchini through a meat mincer because they had no food processor. The zucchini cake keeps well wrapped in aluminum foil in the refrigerator and can also be frozen.

This cake was delicious! I used half the amount of sugar and it was still plenty sweet. The streusel topping was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.
