Meanwhile, wrap the zucchini in a lint-free kitchen towels, and squeeze to remove any excess water. (I DON'T SQUEEZE THE MOISTURE OUT OF THE ZUCCHINI, FOR MAKING MY ZUCCHINI BREAD. IT JUST MAKES IT VERY MOIST; SO, I MAY NOT SQUEEZE OUT THE MOISTURE FOR THIS RECIPE EITHER.)
• 4. Combine all wet ingredients, in a large mixing bowl. Combine all dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Add dry mixture to the wet mixture, and mix, until just combined. The batter will be thick, but do not overmix, or the cake will be tough.
