Zucchini Cake

We had another zucchini, we grew it ourselves, and it was a whopper. So what else are you supposed to do with it, other than make tasty treats. For this post, I decided to make a zucchini cake. Like the bread before it, the zucchini doesn't add much flavor, it just holds it up and moistens it. Here is the link http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Zucchini-Cake-II/Detail.aspx
