Directions
This chocolate zucchini cake is so good and gives you another way to use some of that zucchini. This is good with or without the frosting but I think the more chocolate the better. The frosting just completes how good this cake really is. It won’t last long! My family loves this cake and I make it a lot whenever I have zucchini on hand.
