A dear family friend from my childhood gave this recipe to me the last time I visited her. At the time she was very ill but made the effort to entertain us and served us this delicious slice. Of course, I just had to have the recipe; it’s really easy and it’s always a hit, great served hot or cold, with vegetables or with salad. Tastiest in Summer when the zucchinis are at their best.
I used Australian standard measuring cups.
