Zucchini Chocolate Cake

Recipe Description

I love a good healthy treat and this Zucchini Chocolate Cake is all that. Serving up 24 servings, a cake doesn’t get bigger than that! A delicious and moist chocolate cake batter with grated zucchini and chopped walnuts folded through for that rich texture and nutty crunch.

I like to make a double chocolate frosting for my topping, but you can choose any flavor you like, a pistachio cream works wonders too!

To make Zucchini Chocolate Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
