Cookbook 4, Recipe 2, (Total 8)


With a cookbook titled Chocolate & Zucchini of course I need to make this cake. The recipe made a 10 inch cake - I cut the recipe in half to make a 7 inch cake.

Did I like it? It's yummy, but strange to see green things in my chocolate cake!

Recipe:
Beat together:
1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar
Add:
2 eggs, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp instant coffee pwdr
In another bowl combine:
1 cup flour, 1/4 cup dutched cocoa-pwdr, 1/2 tsp b. pwdr, 1/4 tsp b. soda, 1/4 tsp salt
Take 1/2 cup of the flour mixture and add to:
1 cup grated unpeeled zucchini and 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate.
Mix butter mixture with flour, then fold in zucchini.
Bake in a buttered 7 inch spring form pan at 350 for 40-50 minutes.
