Chocolate Zucchini Cake Recipe ~ Delicious!!

Posted in Kitchen and Recipes

Here it is! I've finally made it back to my blog to share my Chocolate Zucchini cake recipe *grin*. I don't know how many of these we've eaten so far this summer but it definitely isn't helping me out with my quest to shrink my waistline! LOL.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup olive oil
1 3/4 cups sugar

Cream the above ingredients together and then add:

2 eggs one at a time
1/2 cup sour milk
2 1/2 cups white flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 cup walnuts (optional)
1/2 - 1 cup chocolate chips
2 cups grated zucchini

What I usually do is sift all of the dry ingredients together after I've added my two eggs to the creamed butter and then I alternate adding little bits of the dry ingredients and the sour milk so that it doesn't get to dry :) And then finally I stir in the zucchini, chocolate chips and nuts if you're using them :)

Pour it all into a well greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake at 325* F for approximately 40 - 45 minutes or until your knife comes out clean.

Most of the time half of it is gone before it even has a chance to cool down properly! *grin*

Enjoy!

Can you help me out? How come your photos show up on Google Reader, but mine don't? I don't care so much about google reader, but it sure would be nice to have them show up on my facebook account.. because people are always complaining they can't see my pictures and I have to tell them to go to the blog...

I might have to see if there is a gluten-free version of this floating around on the internet...

Thanks for the prayers for our vehicle.

~About Me~

Hello from Canada! I am a homeschooling mom to 3 very rambunctious children ages 10, 6 & 3 years old while holding down the fort as tug boat captain 'Dad' sails the seven seas *grin*. We're located on 40 acres in a tiny rural community in beautiful British Columbia and this is my quirky journal about our homeschool journey, running my home based business 'RosyUndPosy' making 'Eco Friendly Bags 4 Green Living', and everyday life home on the farm. Hope you enjoy your visit :)
