Chocolate Zuchinni Cake

Hey, Whiskers!
I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for fast ways to use vegetables in a different way. Zucchini is one of the main vegetables I am always looking for new ways to use, as it doesn't have much inherent flavor and my mom loves to buy a ton of them. I love this recipe, it's a fast one bowl recipe and is super fluffy with an intense chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. I hand grated the zucchini and not too fine. It was delicious and my sister who has an aversion to veggies loved it. I also roasted the walnuts and it was super worth it. (Thanks to my brother who has drilled roasted nuts before baking with them).Until next time, happy baking and cooking.
Keep whisking up happiness to those around you,
Sam
