ZUCCHINI NUT CAKE
This is a close recreation of a lost recipe of my mother's, a zucchini cake with a baked-in caramel nut topping, similar in concept to an upside-down cake. Kids of all ages love it, and it is sure to be a favorite during zucchini season!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt®).
- Sift flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice together in a bowl. Cream butter and vegetable shortening together in a separate large bowl until thoroughly combined; beat in white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Beat eggs, water, and vanilla extract into the shortening mixture, followed by the flour mixture. Gently stir in zucchini and 1/2 cup walnuts. If batter seems dry, mix in 1 more tablespoon water.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat and stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar until it has dissolved and small bubbles appear in the mixture. Stir 1/2 cup walnuts into the brown sugar mixture.
- Spoon brown sugar-walnut mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan and pour cake batter over the mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert over a serving plate to reveal the brown sugar topping.

ZUCCHINI NUT BREAD/CAKE
Pretty sure everyone has their own recipe for this tasty delight. When I make it in loaf pans, we slice it, toast it and slather either butter or cream cheese on it (maybe even both?) for breakfast or a snack. I also bake it in a bundt pan, slice it in half horizontally and frost with cream cheese frosting as you would a regular...

BIG ISLAND CHOCOLATY ZUCCHINI MACADAMIA NUT CAKE
This tasty chocolaty concoction will have you saving that zucchini just to make this cake. It will disappear almost instantaneously! I wanted to use that Zucchini Pineapple I canned a few years ago....see Tess Greer's Canning Corner for the recipe. When you have zucchini coming out of your ears this time of year, you wonder what you will do with it all! This is IT! My inspiration came from the abundance of zucchini pineapple on my shelves, overripe bananas and those lovely macadamia nuts I got while on vacation. My mom is visiting, so I needed it to be diabetic friendly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray either two 9x5 loaf pans or one 9x5 loaf pan and six muffin tins. I use silicone bakeware...it pops right out.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, applesauce, banana, splenda/sugar, vanilla, zucchini and pineapple ***I use the mock "zucchini pineapple"....find that in the canning corner of JAP.
- In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon salt and baking powder. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir well.
- Add nuts and chocolate chips. This recipe will make two 9x5 loaves. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until done in the middle. Cool for 15 minutes then pop out of the pans and cool completely before wrapping in plastic.
