Zucchini Chocolate Cake Recipe

Made with two zucchinis and apple sauce the cake is extremely moist. And with cocoa, chocolate chips and a chocolate glaze that’s beyond delicious, you get a serious chocolate hit. Plus a serve of vitamins too.

Zucchini in cake is fantastic, but if you haven’t tried a zucchini chocolate cake before this is a great recipe to start with.

The zucchini gives the cake an unbeatable moistness but you cannot taste any vegetable in the cake whatsoever. And aren’t we always being told to eat more vegetables?

This is a really simple cake to make and the fabulous chocolate glaze is even easier to make in the microwave.

One slice is never enough and everyone will be begging for more – how often can you say that about zucchinis?
