This recipe puts a healthy twist on a not-so-healthy treat! Who loves chocolate cake? If you do, I have the perfect idea for you and your family, friends, etc.
Recently, I was reading up on healthy foods and realized that eating healthy sometimes can be hard for me because I love a good old piece of chocolate candy or cake. I came across the idea of chocolate zucchini cake, so I thought I would test it out; and it was (surprisingly) super good-tasting!
I made them in cupcake form; that way I could limit myself to just one rather than eating a whole cake. I COULDN'T TASTE THE ZUCCHINI AT ALL, which is awesome because I am not a huge zucchini fan. I used 1 zucchini for 24 cupcakes, although I probably could have used more.
You can make your own cake mix or buy some and, before baking, you add the grated zucchini to the mix. I grated the zucchini so it wouldn't be seen in the cake, but you can also just shred it. For an additional touch, you can add nuts to the top right before baking. I made mine like chocolate muffins; but if you want them to be more like cupcakes, you can add cool whip for frosting or even use regular frosting!
