This is another zucchini recipe for you. Although this one is not as healthy as yesterday’s, it’s just as tasty and your friends and family will never know about that zucchini that’s in there. A friend shared this recipe with me and said I would not be disappointed and I most definitely was not disappointed! This cake has that yummy chocolate flavor you want without all the guilt or… maybe just a little less guilt!
