This is one of my mom’s old recipes that she only made when she got a free zucchini from a co-worker. My mom’s recipe is slightly different with half the butter, no cinnamon, and shredded zucchini instead of pureed. If you are hesitant to make this recipe because you think the zucchini will be weird in cake, the zucchini flavor isn’t there but it just adds a great moistness to the cake.

I made this over the weekend and it was yummy!! I had never made a chocolate zuchinni cake before and all agreed that it was tasty.

This is a great way to use zuchinni that has gotten out of hand. I puree it all and freeze in 2-cup portions so that we can enjoy this cake year ’round. It’s very moist and enjoyable-a bit of a change from regular sweet chocolate cake. Yummmy!
