The Best Dessert of the Entire Summer.

The Best Dessert of the Entire Summer.
Well folks, we have come to the middle of summer, when the children are bored but not ready for school yet, and our taste buds are tired of s'mores and potato salad. (Yes, this is possible.) This recipe from The View From Great Island was recently shared on our Facebook page, and it looked SO GOOD to me personally, that I sweet-talked my 10-year-old daughter into making it last weekend. She's been really taking off in the kitchen lately, and has homemade brownies and even bread under her belt now, so I knew this cake would be something she could easily handle. And oh my word, handle it she did.

Just put on the lid and it's ready to take to work, picnic or potluck, or easy storage in your fridge.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_27005" align="aligncenter" width="2592"]Lemon buttercream icing, anyone?? Lemon buttercream icing, anyone??[/caption] She's a careful girl, especially since she's fairly new to the baking thing. She follows every recipe TO A TEE, whereas I am much more likely to fudge this or cut a corner on that. So it was no surprise that her cake turned out PERFECTLY - the precise ratio of juicy blueberries to moist zucchini, and the icing alone was to die for. Even my "never-eats-dessert" husband was absolutely smitten. And, just like that, a baker was born, and the end of the summer was tangibly brightened by something as simple as a delicious cake, shared outside as a family at our picnic table.
