Is your garden still going gangbusters with zucchini? If you don’t have your own backyard zucchini supply, chances are you can find them locally and cheap at every grocery and roadside stand. Or befriend a neighbor with a garden. I’m sure they’d be more than happy to share their abundance!

Then get in the kitchen and whip up this amazingly chocolatey cake. When I created this recipe, I was going for brownies, but it turned out more like cake and so we just went with it. If you really want to gild the lily, you could make some sort of frosting, but I really don’t think this cake needs it. It’s delicious and flavorful and moist as is. Plus, without frosting, it’s easier to take to picnics, school functions, potlucks, etc.

And unless you tell them, no one will guess there are three cups of a vegetable in your cake! They’ll just beg for the recipe!
