Chocolate Zucchini Cake


We made this recipe yesterday afternoon. It is a recipe my aunt gave me a few years ago when I visited her.

It was delicious then, it's delicious now. And the best part was the fun of sharing some of it with special friends and a good neighbour!

    We like lots of good things... but chocolate and zucchini are human foods, not for us cats.
