Homemade Chocolate Zucchini Cake

homemade cake, chocolate, zucchini

Let’s sneak in some zucchini and not even taste it kind of cake! Here’s a delicious recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Cake just in time to use all the zucchinis that come in an abundance or you know the one’s that your neighbor’s drop off in the middle of the night. You know who you are.

You can also switch out the fresh zucchini for the shredded stuff you have in your freezer. Zucchini is fairly easy to grow and comes on heavy at times, a great way to preserve the zucchini is to shred it up and place it in freezer bags in the amounts you would want to use – I like 2 cups at a time.
