Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake image

Years ago, I added some zucchini to a peanut butter bar I had created, and this time I wanted to try it with a cake. The zucchini makes it super moist but doesn't get in the way of the chocolate and peanut butter goodness.-Marilyn Blankschien, Clintonville, Wisconsin

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I substituted almond butter. The cake still turned out great!
