YOU-WON'T-KNOW-IT'S DECADENT CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE
This is not just zucchini bread with some cocoa added to make you think this is a chocolate cake. It's a wonderful moist, heavy-on-the-chocolate delicious cake. Truly, no one will ever know that there is zucchini in this recipe. And even my teenage daughter pronounced this recipe "a cinch to make."

Steps:
- Peel zucchini and cut off ends. (I use the very large zucchini from my garden because the whole zucchini - seeds and all can be used.).
- Using a food processor, grate and then process zucchini until pieces are quite fine. (Do NOT make a puree.).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare cake pan(s) by using shortening or butter and then using enough cocoa powder to lightly coat 9x13 pan or two 9-inch round pans. If using round pans, cut a round of parchment for the bottom of the pans to be sure of easy release.
- In large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Sift 1/3 of dry ingredients into creamed mixture then add 1/3 of yogurt.
- Continue adding sifted dry ingredients and yogurt into mixture by thirds until it is all combined.
- Fold in zucchini.
- Pour into cake pan(s).
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans onto cooling rack.
- Frost with your favorite frosting.
