Botercake
Lots of confusion... let me (a Dutch person) explain... First of all: I have no idea what this recipe produces, but the picture looks like "boterkoek". In The Netherlands, we have both "boterkoek" and "botercake". Botercake = pound cake. (A dense, rectangular yellow pound cake, made with butter) Boterkoek = A kind of thick buttery cookie, always round in shape. Very dense. Softer than dutch cookies, little firmer than American cookies usually are. The word 'koek' can mean 'cake' in Dutch (old fashioned), but nowadays almost always means 'cookie'. The word 'cake' is most commonly used in Dutch for pound cakes (the rectangular kind). Large round, frosted cakes like in America are often called "taart" in Dutch, which means "pie". (So used for both round cakes and pies)

Cheddar Zucchini Wedges
Great addition/substitute: Bacon! Absolutely delicious, best zucchini recipe I've found on this site. I didn't have cheddar, so I used Huntsman (sort of like a cheddar with a blue cheese, layered) which was perfect for this. I do wish I had chopped the almonds a little more finely, mine were in very large chunks. I also recommend substituting small pieces of bacon for the almonds!

Blueberry Zucchini Bread
Excellent recipe, my in-laws loved it! Im not a huge fan personally of fruit baked into things, but everyone else assured me the recipe is very good.
