I think Carrot cake with cream cheese items falls into this category too :) Oh wait! What about pumpkin pie!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for featuring my recipe! I can't tell you how excited and appreciative I am! Linked up again this week, can't wait to see everyone's goodies!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting! Your Choc. Zucc. Cake looks yummy :) I shared an Apple Crisp w/ Soaked Oats Topping recipe and a Grass-fed Pot Roast w/ Apple Juice, Honey & Herbs recipe. I have a huge box of Gravenstein apples which are in season right now, so I've been trying to make recipes with them. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteLove zucchini- Thanks for the recipe and for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, the cake looks amazing!!! I love anything with zucchini, especially since my garden is always overflowing. The crop is finally starting to slow down!
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks amazing! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! And you're right - that cake is just a delivery method for veggies, and everyone knows we need to eat more veggies, right?
ReplyDeleteEmily, I have linked up Orange Balls, Strawberry Pound Cake, and Hot Bacon Cheese Dip. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want your job of having to pick features. It has to be hard choosing a few out of 100...wow!
ReplyDeleteZucchini bread, zucchini brownies, and now zucchini cake. I think I have to get over my issue with zucchini in sweets. Especially since there's chocolate involved.
Thanks for the link-up! This week I brought blackened chicken w/ Creole mustard sauce.
Your zucchini cake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting. :)
Thanks for featuring our race car dinner! I really appreciate it! And thanks for hosting!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for featuring my carrot recipe. I got so excited I clicked the wrong picture for today's recipe so you get a picture of my collection of Farm Journal cookbooks instead of the Applesauce Fudgies. I will be picking up my button later. Thanks so much for hosting. If you haven't seen it you might like to see the Sweeties recipe from last Wed. It uses diced zucchini. I am going to check out some of the great recipes I see.
ReplyDeleteThank you so VERY much for featuring my Chinese Wontons! My computer is DOA right now so cannot link up this week. Hope to be back partying soon, though!

We made chocolate chip zucchini cookies a few weeks ago and they came out great. I was actually surprised that the zucchini helped enhance the flavor.
ReplyDeleteChocolate zucchini cake! Oh MY!
