Got it - This is YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had never heard of it before (courgette in cake yuck you think don't you?!), but had a glut of courgettes from my veg-box and wanted something interesting to do with them and found this. Honestly, its the best chocolate cake ever!

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
3 cups grated zucchini
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
