Cinnamon Zucchini Cake with Maple Frosting

Garden harvest time can mean trying to figure out what do with all of those zucchinis that have just appeared in your garden or on your front doorstep courtesy of your neighbour.  Besides eating it as a vegetable with dinner you can bake with zucchini as well.  It can take the place of shredded apple or carrots in a recipe.  This recipe for cinnamon zucchini cake with maple frosting is the perfect reason to grow zucchini in your garden.
