We should all have zucchini coming out our noses by now, right? And what do you do with this obscure vegetable? Well, I actually have a few ideas. One being the most perfect zucchini bread. But here's another idea...turn that green vegetable into a CHOCOLATE CAKE! Great idea, right? The zucchini in this cake makes it so soft and moist. And the chocolate chips and nuts on top are just wonderful.
Enjoy!
