Buttermilk Chocolate Zucchini Cake image

I received this recipe from my best friend over 10 years ago...and I still get rave reviews whenever I serve it. The zucchini makes it very moist. My husband and I plant grass seed and have a few animals on our farmette here in Lancaster County.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but this cake was surprisingly good. The chocolate flavor really masked the zucchini taste.
