Zucchini chocolate cake

….

Ok, this one is interesting because whenever I say zucchini and cake 🍰 in the same sentence I get the weirdest reactions πŸ˜‚

However, zucchini is very neutral in taste and it just adds great moisture and fiber to this delicious and rich chocolate cake.

It’s my go to coffee cake in the morning β˜•οΈ
