We had such great plans for using zuchinni this year - planted twelve hills, but have not found one on our lush vines. The vine borer has now attacked several, so don't think this will be our year. However, for those who have many zuchinni, this is one of the best chocolate cakes I have had.
Zuchinni Chocolate Cake
Beat together 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1-3/4 cups sugar.
Add: 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup sour milk, and 2 cups finely diced or grated zuchinni
Beat in dry ingredients: 2-1/2 cups sifted flour, 4 Tbsp dry cocoa, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp cloves, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
Spoon into a greased and floured 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chocolate chips on top. Bake at 325 degrees until firm in the middle. Can be frosted, if desired, but good without frosting. It is very moist and tasty.
