I had 2 zucchini picked from my garden that I needed to use. I had been searching allrecipies.com for something good to do with zuchinni. The stuffed zucchini I made earlier was good but I wanted to try something different. I found a recipe for chocolate zucchini cake and modified it some. I posted this picture on facebook and immediately got requests for my recipe. Below is the recipe I used and OH is it good!!!!
I made a "small" cake.
1 c. flour
1 c sugar
1/4c + 2 T cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Mix dry ingredients together
Add 2 eggs
3/4 c applesauce (you can use oil instead if you want)
1 1/2 c grated zucchini ( i pureed mine)
and 1/2 or more chocolate chips
cook @ 350 for 45-50 min
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and eat :)
Its so moist and chocolatey! In my opinion the chocolate chips are key and I am glad I pureed my zucchini as I am not sure about the texture of grated zucchini in a cake.
I am taking the rest of the cake to work otherwise I'd eat the whole thing this weekend!
Don't share with them! Send it to me!
