Zucchini Chocolate Cake

As most people who have zucchini in their garden I have more than enough zucchini, and have been searching for recipes to use it up. I have made pasta sauces, bread, muffins, a quiche type bake dish and added it to fajitas. I have also grilled and fried the zucchini. Today I tryed a new recipe, Zucchini Chocolate Cake. It was yummy, and by far the most enjoyable of all the zucchini dishes I have made. I highly recommend y'all try it out.
