Sounds weird, but it's DEEEELICIOUS.
Chocolate Zucchini Cake
preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour pan.
3/4 Cups soft shortening
3 eggs
2 cups sugar (turbinado sugar works just fine)
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
2 teaspooons vanilla
Blend the shortening and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly. Add vanilla. Put soda and baking powder in the milk and add alternately with the flour and cocoa. Mix in zucchini and pour into a 9 x 13 pan or a bundt or springform pan that has been greased and floured.
Bake 1 hour at 350. This is good with a glaze or homemade buttercream or cream cheese icing. If you want to forgoe the icing, you can mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with 3 tablespoons of sugar and sprinkle this over the cake batter before baking.
