CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10 cup bundt pan generously and set aside.
• Grate the zucchinis and place on several layers of paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Use a towel and gently press the zucchini to release the moisture. You don't want it completely dry, just slightly less wet. I ended up with a couple of cups of grated zucchini but it honestly doesn't affect the recipe if you have more or less. I would say between 2 and 3 cups is perfect.
• Whisk granulated sugar, eggs, applesauce, butter, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cocoa powder together. Reserve a couple tablespoons of the mixture, set aside.
• Stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture just until combined.
• Combine the chocolate chips with the reserved flour mixture. Add chocolate chips and grated zucchini to the batter and stir just until all ingredients are combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake the cake for 55 to 65 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the cake cool for ten minutes before inverting onto a plate. Let cake cool completely.

• Mix flour, sugar, eggs, margarin, oil, zucchini, and vanilla together in a big bowl.
• In a small bowl, mix the dry ingredients: salt, baking powder,baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cocoa.
• Alternately add milk and dry stuff to zucchini mixture, until all is mixed together.
• Pour into pan and pop it in the oven for 45min, or longer, depending on toothpick test.
• Recommended: drizzle with the chocolate chips just before putting it into the oven -- seems like shaved/sliced almonds would be grreat on it also!
• Alternative topping: instead of the chocolate chips, use Fudge Icing Recipe #78040 from this web site (http://www.recipezaar.com/Fudge-Icing-78040). I tried a few frostings and this one was the best with this cake and SO EASY! Amazing consistency.
