CUCUZZA CAKE
My Aunt Mae used to grow cucuzza's in her back yard when I was a little girl. Cucuzza is a long, green squash. She normally fried them up and served them with spaghetti every Sunday. I recently found this recipe for cucuzza cake. I made it last weekend and my family loved it... even the picky kids! My husband ate almost a whole cake for breakfast and asked me to bake some more! I guess I will be making this cake often! The original recipe said to bake for one hour, but my cakes were done at 45 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, oil and sugar, creaming until smooth.
- Add eggs, one at a time beating well after each addition.
- Add vanilla and beat well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and cloves.
- Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternately with buttermilk.
- Stir in shredded cucuzza.
- Pour batter into a greased 13X9-inch baking pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until done. You can test to see if the cake is done by inserting a toothpick near the center of the cake and see if it comes out clean. If it does, it's done.
- Allow cake to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine all frosting ingredients.
- Spread over warm cake.
- Broil in oven approximately 4-6 inches from the heat for about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn, it will broil fast!
- Cool cake completely before serving.
- ~NOTE~ You don't have to peel or seed the cucuzza, just wash the outside skin with warm water and pat dry before shredding.
