Yummy cake with a secret ingredient
Hi Moms. How about a great cake recipe that the kids will like - even though it's loaded with zucchini? You can get zucchini for $1 a pound at Raley's and Safeway. And don't worry, the secret ingredient won't scare off the kids because it tastes so good! Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Bon Appétit

The zucchini helps keep the cake moist.

This sounds good for me! I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but everything is better when there's chocolate cake involved.
