Zucchini, Zucchini, Zucchini...I don't know about you, but I know my kids are tired of seeing these green things in the kitchen.  When you ask Lena how she likes her zucchini the answer has always been, and most likely will always be, in Chocolate Zucchini Cake!  Forget grilling, steaming, or sauteing, she just goes straight for the chocolate. Although she picks at the zucchini in its purest form, she also has no idea how much she is eating where I quietly 'sneak' it in. In this cake though, there is no picking around the green flecks, it just all goes right down!.  This has been a family recipe since I was a kid. It was always best with a dollop of whipped cream adorning the top...ah, heaven.

The challenge for this heaven was a gluten cake made with eggs, yogurt, lots of sugar, and plenty of oil.  No wonder it was so good!  I assure you, the new version can compete.  Even Lena agrees.
