POTLUCK BANANA ZUCCHINI CAKE FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY
Using some grated zucchini in this cake made it possible to make this
cake with only one medium banana. The
flavor is distinctly banana and the zucchini cannot be seen or tasted at all,
however, it imparts lovely moisture to this cake. Great for breakfast, too, with your tea or
coffee. Here is some info about St. Patrick's Day...CLICK!

2 large eggs
1 egg white
