Published 2:22pm Monday, September 17, 2012CHOCOLATE ANYONE?
With zucchini in abundance. I made this
very dense, moist chocolate zucchini cake.
I defrosted the zucchini in the microwave,
poured off a little of the juice and the result
was good according to people who tried it.
You can use either frosting. Hope you enjoy
this too.

on how wet the zucchini is.
