What better use of a favorite summer veggie than whipping up this glazed lemon zucchini bundt cake.YES. It’s wicked good and I must warn you… you might want to eat the whole thing!It’s moist, lemony, tasty, perfect for a summer dessert and it has one of my favorite spices… cardamom!

If you happen to have an abundance of zucchini, I suggest that you shred and freeze it. You can then enjoy it throughout the next few months vs using it up immediately. 

This recipe (adapted from a beautiful plate), is perfect for using your frozen zucchini!

However, I used fresh- grated zucchini. You can’t ever go wrong with fresh ingredients!

A great tip that I’d like to mention: when you shred the zucchini, be sure to squeeze out as much moisture as you can before adding it to this recipe and other bread recipes. You’ll have better results in the texture and density. Try this--it's amazing!

I even made mini versions!
