Yes There's A Zucchini In This Chocolate Cake Recipe
I made zucchini chocolate cake. I love chocolate anything, and since I like baking often, I thought it'd be a good idea to have a healthier chocolate cake recipe around.
I couldn't tell at all that there was zucchini in there! I gave Tai my 12-year-old picky eater a piece, and he ate it and liked it. The next day he had another piece and then asked for a second piece. That's when I told him there was zucchini in it. He didn't believe me. Either he's just in denial or he thinks I'm lying.
I got him to eat zucchini and guys I haven't been able to do that in twelve years! I'll take that as a win. Maybe I'll try avocado brownies next!
