Zucchini chocolate cake. Put a healthy spin on your favorite chocolate cake with this zucchini loaded cake. Sweet, moist and loaded with veggie goodness, there’s so much to love about this decadent cake.
This recipe is for all cake lovers out there who just want to turn their favorite dessert into a guilt-free treat. This cake is a variation of my favorite chocolate cake, but loaded with zucchinis.
Rich chocolate batter and plenty of grated zucchini filling make it standout from other cakes. As you bake it, zucchinis incorporate really well into the batter. You’ll never know the difference.
Seriously, a fun way to sneak veggies into your diet. And definitely, a great alternative to regular chocolate cake.

It Made Me Like Zucchini! I made this cake for the first time last weekend as I had seen recipe in one of your emails and figured perhaps I should try to find a use for what I had considered an overrated vegetable--namely, zucchini.
