When I was younger I had a neighbor that always made Zucchini Cake with all the extra Zucchini from her garden. She would always invite our family over for cake, so I have fond memories associated with Chocolate Zucchini Cake. This is such a yummy recipe that gives you your cake and your veggies in the same bite.
