Bourkster's Chocolate Zucchini Cake

A not-too sweet, and healthy-ish cake perfect for transporting to celebrations and camping weekends. Recipe by Jeanie Bourke. • Zucchini can be grated and frozen in Ziplock bags for year round use-good way to use slightly overgrown garden crop. Hint: when frozen use all liquid when thawed • Variation: Substitute canned cherries for the zucchini, but it will be sweeter.
