How To Make chocolate zucchinni cake

  • 1
    Mix dry ingredients in large bowl. Peel and shred zucchinni before adding any wet ingredients. I usually use 2 medium sized zucchinni (seeds and all). Larger zucchinni will need seeds removed.

    Add wet ingredients in order given. Mixture will be thick. Preheat oven to 350- grease a glass 13x9 inch pan (zucchinni can react to metal pans. If using metal, please do not store cake in the same pan). Bake for 25-35 minutes (use toothpick to test)

    Mix icing ingredients and frost cooled cake- we have enjoyed this cake at room temperature and cold from the refridgerator- love it both ways!
