Recipe Description

Its rumored that no one locks their cars around here, except for during zucchini season. If you forget to lock it you might come back to find a crate of zucchinis on your seat!

So what do you do when you have a lot of zucchini? Find a way to mix it with chocolate of course! This is not a new idea, nor a new recipe, but once you try it, you will love it.

This cake is thick, chewy, almost fudge like. No one can resist!

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sift all dry ingredients and sugar in large bowl. (flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar)

Add eggs, vanilla, and oil. Mix by hand.

Add in grated zucchini. (Its a good idea to place zucchini on clean towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.)

I used the largest side with my hand grater. I love the extra texture it adds to the cake.

Combine until all ingredients fully incorporated.

Place in greased 9×13 pan.

Cook for about 50 minutes. May need to go longer. Test cake with toothpick to determine if done.

If you really like dark chocolate, I think shaving some really good quality cacao over the top would be the perfect addition. Ghirardelli even has a 60% cacao bittersweet chip… which just might send a dark chocolate lover into cardiac arrest. :)

There’s no need for frosting, but if you prefer, cream cheese frosting goes really well!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour
  • ¾ cups Cocoa
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 cups White Sugar (I Use C&H Extra Fine Sugar)
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-½ cup Canola Oil
  • 3 cups Grated Zucchini
  • ½ bags Chocolate Chips (optional)
  • ½ cups Walnuts Or Hazelnuts (optional)

Pear Cake

by Regan and filed in Cakes, Desserts

This pear cake is a almost like a cross between a blondie and a coffeecake. It is tangy, spicy, and divine. It takes more pears than necessary so I have included directions for preparing them for a sweet and savory stew.

Nena’s Croatian Sour Cherry Cake

by Diplomatickitchen (Elizabeth) and filed in Cakes, Desserts

Sour Cherry Cake is made from a swift little recipe that will give you a fine result the first time—and every time, unless one bakes with such winged speed that the batter goes in the oven without adding the flour. Even then the mistake may be undone on a second try with remarkable ease. It is a seriously delicious cake.

Gooey Biscoff Cake Bars

by kelly @ livelovepasta and filed in Cakes, Desserts

One of my new favorite recipes! The inside was soft and gooey and the Biscoff flavor was perfect! At first sight, these kind of look like pumpkin bars. But they’re not! I can’t really explain what Biscoff tastes like, you need to try them yourself!
