YUMMY ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CAKE
As a confirmed chocoholic, this is my all-time favorite treat. I found the original recipe more than 20 years ago, but have lightened it up quite a bit. Everyone asks for the recipe, and no one suspects that it's lighter than most chocolate cakes. -Carleta Foltz, Sunrise Beach, Missouri

p-mockalis17@gmail.comThis cake was delicious! I made it for my family and they loved it. It was moist and chocolatey, with just the right amount of sweetness. The zucchini added a nice moistness to the cake, and it was a great way to use up some of my garden zucchini.
