List of Ingredients




1/2 cup butter or margarine
1-3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 cups grated zucchini
1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup cooking oil
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk (or sour milk)
3/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)



Recipe



Sift the flour, baking soda, cocoa and salt into a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, cooking and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time beating well until thoroughly blended. Mix in alternately in small amounts the grated zucchini, the flour mixture and the buttermilk. Add the vanilla and stir until thoroughly combined. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish or pan. If using, spread or sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped nuts over the top. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated oven at 325° for 1 hour or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When cake is done, remove from oven and let cool before frosting.


Yield: 15 servings
Note: This cake is very moist and doesn't need to be frosted, unless desired.
