Every summer when I was growing up we would have family picnics with my mom's family. We loved getting together with our cousins and of course loved all the picnic food. My favorite thing we just called grandma's picnic cake. Until I grew up and asked for the recipe I don't think I ever had this cake except on a picnic. I hope she won't mind me sharing. It is really yummy.
Grandma J's Picnic Cake
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup oil
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups grated zucchini
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour or buttermilk
4 Tbsp cocoa
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Combine all ingredients. Put in 9x11" greased and floured pan. Sprinkle with a topping of 3/4 cup each: brown sugar, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.
