Chocolate Zucchini Cake

When zucchini season is in full swing, there’s only so much grilled zucchini and zucchini bread you can make before you’re looking for something a little more exciting. It’s a little more than chocolate zucchini bread. It’s Chocolate Zucchini Cake! Rich, moist and deeply chocolatey, it’s the kind of dessert that proves zucchini belongs just as much in chocolate cake as it does in savory recipes. In fact, most people would never guess there’s a vegetable hidden inside!

The shredded zucchini practically disappears into the batter as it bakes, adding incredible moisture without changing the flavor. The result is a tender chocolate cake that’s soft, fudgy and impossible to resist. It’s topped with an old-fashioned cooked chocolate frosting made with chocolate chips and marshmallows that melts into a glossy, creamy layer over the warm cake.
