Funfetti Yellow or White Zucchini Cake

Looking for a great way to try to hide the zucchini in your cake? How about a Funfetti Zucchini Cake... The sprinkles add lots of color and you may just be able to sneak it past the kids:@) Even if you don't use the sprinkles this is a nice moist cake that would work well with any flavor of frosting your crowd likes. You can make a true white cake by using only egg whites, I made half of the recipe and used one whole egg so mine is more of yellow cake.

The full recipe calls for two 8" round cake pans, I used an 8" square pan for half.

Had to chuckle at a comment by Bloggy Buddy Jenna... She says she sneaks the zucchini into treats by telling her Grands it's "super hero sugar". I love it! 
All I can say is, this was a very popular cake here at Casa de Pig In Mud:@) Other zucchini sheet cake options: Chocolate Zucchini and Spiced Zucchini.
