Summer Sweets: Chocolate Zucchini Cake

zucchini cake2 Summer Sweets: Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Late summer means armloads of zucchini from neighbours, markets and our CSA box. Despite its versatility, all I can think of doing with a glut of zucchini is make cake. Grated raw zucchini adds moisture to chocolate cake, creating a wonderfully dense, not too sweet cake Id choose over any other chocolate cake any day of the week.

Most chocolate zucchini cakes are baked in bundt pans or loaf pans due to their density; if you want cupcakes, bake the batter in lined muffin tins for 25 minutes, or until springy to the touch.
