Chocolate Zucchini Cake With Pineapple Frosting and Coconut image

It's zucchini time and I can't cook it fast enough. I have so much of it in my garden this year. This Tropical chocolate cake has a hint of cinnamon, dried cherries but you can use raisins and my Zucchini, Pineapple, Ginger Jam recipe #95600 in the frosting but you can use any pineapple jam.

This cake was a disaster! It was so bad that I had to throw it away.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out really dense and heavy. It was also very dry.

The frosting was too runny. I had to add more powdered sugar to thicken it up.

The cake was a bit dry. I think I should have used more zucchini.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still loved this cake. The chocolate and pineapple flavors are so good together.

I added some chopped walnuts to the cake batter and it gave it a nice crunch. I also used a chocolate ganache frosting instead of the pineapple frosting and it was delicious!

The pineapple frosting is the perfect finishing touch to this cake. It's tangy and sweet, and it pairs perfectly with the chocolate cake.

I was hesitant to try a chocolate cake with zucchini, but I'm so glad I did! The zucchini adds a moistness and flavor that you wouldn't get from a traditional chocolate cake.
