Personal Notes:
You can eat the entire cake or share it with a friend. In our garden, we grew a huge amount of zucchini and needed to do something with the extra. It tasted like chocolate cake but was full of veggies. We tricked the kids into eating this vegetable.
Another winner. Make it like the recipe, except add a handful of chocolate chips and walnuts. Use Hershey's Special Dark Dutch cocoa.
