Aunt Jan's Zucchini Cake

Jan gave me this recipe when we were newlyweds.  I have been making this cake for 33 years and I think Jeff likes it better every year.  He compared the cake this year with the carrot cake at Deer Valley.  That is a major compliment! My original recipe card is falling apart so I thought I would blog it and keep it forever! It is a great way to use up zucchini.

3 c. grated zucchini
3 c. flour
3 c. sugar
1 t. salt
1 c. chopped nuts
1/2 c. oil
4 beaten eggs
1 t. baking soda
2 t. baking powder
