Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Do you have a garden bursting at the seams with Zucchini?
Most people have a huge harvest and struggle to use it up.

I love it grilled, stir fried and use it grated in recipes. We also use a spiral cutter to make Zoodles, in place of spaghetti noodles (zucchini noodles).

Today I would like to share a recipe that you and your family will love!
Zucchini Cake is easy and so yummy, no one will know it is packed with zucchini goodness 🙂

Give it a try, I know you will love it. Please share your favourite recipe or preparation for zucchini in the comments. We may just feature your recipe on our site!
