      Yield: 8 servings 
  
  1 1/2 c  Walnut pieces 
      2 md Zucchini, unpeeled, ends 
           -trimmed 
    1/4 c  Cornstarch 
    1/4 c  Brown rice flour 
      1 ts Baking powder 
      1 pn Salt 
      3 lg Eggs 
    3/4 c  Sugar 
      2 tb Diced candied lemon peel, 
           -finely minced 
  
  Powdered sugar 
   
  Preheat oven to 350F.  Butter the sides of an 8 x 2-inch cake pan, 
  line the base with a circle of baking parchment and butter the 
  parchment. Using a nut mill, grind walnuts to flour and set aside. 
  Using the same nut mill, grind zucchini into fine shreds.  There 
  should be 1 cup, firmly packed, or 6 ounces.  Place in a sieve and 
  press out the liquid.  Combine cornstarch, rice flour, baking powder 
  and salt; set aside. 
   
  Beat eggs with sugar until lemon-colored and very thick.  A lifted 
  beater should leave a slowly dissolving trail of batter.  Using a 
  large rubber spatula, lightly fold in grated walnuts and minced lemon 
  peel, as though mixing a souffle.  Fluff up zucchini shreds and fold 
  in.  Sift cornstarch-flour mixture over batter and quickly fold in, 
  retaining as much volume as possible. 
   
  Pour into prepared pan (the batter will be loose) and bake for 40 
  minutes, until a tester comes out dry.  Let cool in pan for 10 
  minutes before unmolding onto a rack.  Peel off paper, reverse onto 
  rack right side up, and let cool completely. 
   
  Dust with powdered sugar before serving. 
   
  Serves 8.
