This recipe is one that our mom made for us as kids and she continues to make it today.  We enjoy making it for our families now and it’s always fun and kind of nostalgic to cook things with our kids that we made as kids.  This chocolate zucchini cake recipe is tried and true and it’s always a crowd-pleaser.  We’d love to hear what you think if you decide to make it!Looking for a way to use up the endless zucchini or summer squash from your garden?

If you do make it, please note that with all the moisture in the zucchini, the batter will be quite thin before baking, which is totally normal, so don’t be alarmed if it seems much more runny than your typical cake batter.
