LEMON ZUCCHINI BREAD

Aren't these flowers beautiful?  Such a beautiful arrangement.  My husbands work team sent this when my Father passed.  I loved the colors and the flowers chosen, the way they went with each other.  I always admire the people that arrange these bouquets.   Thank you.  It was a source of quiet joy.

If you have any zucchini, these are a sweet to behold.  So delicious. If you don't have cake flour you can substitute with 2 tablespoons corn starch or arrow root in the bottom of a measuring cup and fill the remainder with flour.  Its best to have sifted flour but at least spoon the flour into the measuring cup.  Yes, it makes a difference.  This is why I wish all our recipes were like the English, measured with weight.  It's so much more accurate.  I think foodies should start a movement...  We could call it, Wait, let's Weight!  Aren't I clever?  Ha!
