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!
Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Oven - 350 F
9 x 13 pan
Beat the following together:
1/2 cup butter or marg
1/2 cup oil (I used olive and it was fine)
1 3/4 cup sugar (I used 1/4 cup less)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Combine the dry ingredients in separate bowl:
5 Tbsp cocoa
2 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt (opt.)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
In a measuring cup, mix together:
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups shredded zucchini
Add wet and dry, alternately. Add zucchini. Mix. Put into greased baking pan.
Topping
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup chopped nuts
1/3 cup chocolate chips
Spread on top of mixture. Bake 30 - 35 minutes.
Why y'all gotta mess up that cake by putting vegetables in it?

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!
We like lots of good things... but chocolate and zucchini are human foods, not for us cats.
