Chocolate Zucchini Cake -- Vegetables in a cake, Hey it's healthy!! 
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup Vegetable oil
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour milk
2 1/2 cups flour
4 T cocoa - (or more to taste) (I usually at least double this! )
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups shredded Zucchini
1 cup chocolate chips
Cream together butter, oil, sugar, and eggs. Then add vanilla and milk.
Combine the rest of the ingredients excluding the chocolate chips. Then add to creamed mixture. Stir in 2 cups shredded Zucchini
Pour into greased 9X13 pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips (or more to taste).
Bake at 325 - 40-45 minutes.
I forgot once and stirred the chocolate chips into the batter. So I just sprinkled more on top and it turned out fine. More chocolate can't hurt right??
With the chocolate chips on top no frosting is necessary. In the summer I shred up a few of the zucchini I planted and put them in 2 cup packages in the freezer. They are ready for my cakes whenever.
