Chocolate Zucchini Cake Recipe
2 1/2 cups regular all-purpose flour, unsifted 1/2 cup cocoa 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 3/4 cup soft butter 2 cups sugar 3 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 teaspoons grated orange peel 2 cups coarsely shredded zucchini 1/2 cup milk 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans Glaze (directions follow) Method Preheat the oven to 350°F. 1 Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside. 2 With a mixer, beat together the butter and the sugar until they are smoothly blended. Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. With a spoon, stir in the vanilla, orange peel, and zucchini. 3 Alternately stir the dry ingredients and the milk into the zucchini mixture, including the nuts with the last addition. 4 Pour the batter into a greased and flour-dusted 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan. Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes (test at 45 minutes!) or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes; turn out on wire rack to cool thoroughly. 5 Drizzle glaze over cake. Glaze: Mix together 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 Tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth. Cut in thin slices to serve. Makes 10-12 servings. This is the one I make .I omit the orange peel and at times I will throw in a cup of chocolate chips too :) |
I use to use applesauce instead of oil in my Amish Friendship Bread. It was so moist and better for you.

Thanks for all the recipes. Going to try them all especially the chocolate ones. I knew you would come through for me.

I use this recipe, also. I sprinkle flax seed on top and some white chocolate chips over that.
