I was given a big bag of summer squash so I’m trying to put it all to good use… Â I pulled out my recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Cake. Â I love this as it’s very easy and makes a wonderfully moist, dense cake.
Here’s the recipe:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 c oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup buttermilk (I just put a tablespoon of vinegar in 1/2 cup of milk)
1 1/2 cups flour
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chocolate chips
Mike together bake in a 9 x 13 pan at 325 for 40-45 minutes.
Frosting:
1 tablespoon butter
1 T milk
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Microwave on high for 1 minute or until stirred smooth. Â Frost cake.
It’s simple and easy and might help you get ahead of those summer squash…YUM!! Â We’re at a picnic today so I’m taking it to share.
Dear Jo,
I am new to blog land, don’t do Facebook, etc. would love to comment but who knows what an URL is to set up an account, so I appreciate your comments with out the confusion. I know you are in bogland and I recently saw a whirling blades quilt at The Modern Diary, but didn’t know how to ask where the pattern was created. Any chance you would know?
Thanks for the recipes, have a very large zucchini that needs attention.
What size pan for the zucchini cake?? Looks really yummy.

When I first made this cake, I didn’t tell my husband it had zucchini in it. He never would have touched it. Later when he asked me to make that good chocolate cake, I told him it was made with zucchini. He loves it.
I make mine in the blender. Put wet ingredients into the blender, add zucchini chunks and blend. Then pour into combined dry ingredients. Works great and so easy.
Mine calls for a 9 X 13 pan. Bakes for about 45 minutes.
