Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake
I made this last night and it's almost gone.
Ingredients:
3 cups shredded zucchini
3/4 cup cocoa
1 2/3 cup flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoons salt
3 eggs (or 3/4 cup egg substitute)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9" bundt pan with cooking spray (or grease with shortening) and dust lightly with 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder.
Shred zucchini and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cocoa , flour , sugar , cinnamon , baking powder and soda and salt.
In a small bowl, combine eggs , oil and vanilla.
Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and beat vigorously by hand until well blended. MIXTURE WILL BE VERY STIFF!
Stir in shredded zucchini until well blended, pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely.
Options:
If desired, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate or top with whipped cream or ice cream. In the photo above we drizzle d the cake with melted milk chocolate then sprinkled it with tiny candy decorations found in the supermarket -- you could also use jimmies -- either chocolate or multi-colored.

Do thou O Lord, protect us, guard us ever from this generation. On every side the wicked prowl as vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
Psalm 12:7-8
In answer to your inquiry, I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell. —William Booth founder and general of the Salvation Army 1829-1916
