Description
You’ll have no idea there is zucchini in this cake. It is just moist and yummy with coconut or chocolate icing!
Ingredients
- 1-½ cup Flour, White
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ cups Cocoa, Dark
- ¼ teaspoons Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
- ½ cups Milk
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- 3 whole Eggs
- 2 cups Zucchini, Shredded (Do Not Peel)
- 1 cup Sugar (Frosting)
- 3 whole Egg YOLKS (Frosting)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla (Frosting)
- 1 stick Butter (1/4 Cup) (Frosting)
- 1 can Condensed Milk (Frosting)
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch (Frosting)
- 1 can Coconut, Shredded (Frosting)
- 1 cup Pecans, Chopped (Frosting)
Preparation
I make this in a 9×13 pan (greased & floured).
Preheat oven 375 degrees.
Combine together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Mix vanilla and milk together.
With a mixer, cream sugar, oil and eggs until smooth.
Slowly mix in the dry ingredients a little at a time, alternating with milk and vanilla.
Mix all this until smooth.
Then STIR IN BY HAND the zucchini (if you use the mixer, it will pulverize the zucchini).
Pour into the baking pan and bake for 25 minutes or until done. Stick a toothpick or piece of spaghetti into the center and make sure it does not come out wet.
Ice the cake while it is still warm (not hot).
FOR THE FROSTING:
Combine ingredients and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 12 minutes. )
Add chopped pecans and coconut.
Spread over cooled cake and enjoy!
IF YOU WANT CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
½ Cup Butter
¼ Cup Cocoa
6 Tablespoons Milk
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
1 Pound Box/Bag Powdered Sugar
Melt the butter and place in large bowl; add in milk, cocoa and vanilla.
Beat in the powdered sugar until smooth.
Ice the cake while it is still warm.
