About
It’s quite amazing how a summer vegetable makes one of the best desserts around. But in Mimi’s Fresh Zucchini Bread, the veggie adds in a lot of moisture, keeping the cake soft. This bread tastes delicious right out of the oven with a pad of butter and a squeeze of honey or the following day with a milky cup of coffee or tea.
