I got this recipe from a woman who came to my rummage sale. We got to talking about zucchini-she didn't know what the big squash could be used for. So I sent her some of my favorite zucchini recipes and, in return, she mailed me the recipe for this cake. It's absolutely delicious and I've made it often.

I absolutely love this recipe. I make it often and I have shared the recipe with several people. It always comes out of the oven smelling and Iooking delicious. I also love to toast a slice and eat it that way.

I have been married almost 28 years and have made this cake so many times. I have my things in storage now and could not find them. This has been so much help and I definitely will make this cake again and again.

I made this cake last weekend, and it was very very dense and had a bit of a flour taste to it. the only way i would consider making this recipe again would be by altering the recipe a bit. But the kids and my husband liked it, and my dog actually stole the entire cake off the table after I forgot to put away, didn't even leave a crumb...LOL

I absolutely LOVE this recipe!! I make it in mini loaves at Christmas, as small gifts to tuck in boxes I need to ship. I get so many requests for it! It has such a wonderful flavor. I have made it with butter, and I have tried substituting margarine. I definately like the butter flavor better, but in a pinch... Would highly recommend this to anyone.

I tried this recipe and the cake came out very dense and pasty. I consider myself a baker and am always looking fo new recipes, but this one was not a working one for me.

After discovering this recipe, it's the only pound cake recipe that I use. I love that it's versatile; I've added lemon zest and fresh lemon juice for a lemon pound cake; I've also added blueberries to the original recipe or when I've made the lemon version. I have never had this recipe fail me. Absolutely love it.
