Blackberry Lemon Zucchini Bundt Cake

Baking with family in the house does not always leave me time to get some photos before the munching begins. This is what is left of the Bundt Cake I made today. I just had to share the recipe because it was so scrumptious coming out of the oven all warm and the fragrance was such shear delight!

This Bundt Cake is full of garden goodness making it moist with. Blackberries, Lemons, Heirloom Zucchini, nuts, raisins and spices. I still have large amounts of different squash varieties being picked from the garden. I decided to take a break from canning on this cloudy and rainy day for a bit of baking for a change.

Downsizing our sugar consumption has still been a priority here. I played around with this recipe and found I didn't need all the sugar it called for, or the oil for that matter. This left a much healthier treat and aloud for the flavors of the fruits and veggies to stand out. I did decide to sprinkle just a tiny amount of powdered sugar on top. That part really could be completely optional. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
