Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Okay, forgive the food porn, but I just had to share. Oh my goodness, this turned out so well. This originally was meant to be a 9×13 cake, but I cut the recipe in half, lightened it up and made it in an 8×8 glass dish. So this piece pictured is 1/16 of the recipe. Oh, did I mention that it’s only 106 calories and tastes fabulous? That’s down from 181 calories that the original would have been. I took pieces to one of the neighbours and got back rave reviews. So I decided I should share.

The interesting point is that between the two pieces I’ve given away (my mother is off delivering the 2nd one) there are only 7 servings of it left. That was to some extent the plan. :)

    I can’t wait to get home and try this! It looks fabulous. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

    I’m really bad. I cut 1/16th for myself this morning. Gave 6 portions to the people across the street (requesting a review, which was good), gave two portions to the woman down the street, and then decided to give 6 of the last 7 portions to the next door neighbours. I did leave one piece for my mother to have, which she did in the afternoon.

    I don’t plan to change anything the next time I make it, although for the party I suspect I’ll add just a few more chocolate chips (maybe a Tb more) to make it easier to spread. Then I’ll cut up and freeze what’s left. It will be something nice to have every now and then. Also, if I put it in the back of the freezer in the garage it will be too much of a pain to get to. :)
    I share the recipes because I think it’s really important to find better ways to make the things you enjoy. Otherwise you’ll feel deprived.
