Zucchini Fudge Cake

This is the most moist cake ever. The zucchini and chocolate go really well together. Highly recommend!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2-1/2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup baking cocoa
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 3 cups shredded zucchini
• 3-1/2 cups prepared chocolate frosting

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in zucchini.
Pour into three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Spread frosting between layers and over the top and sides of cake. Yield: 12-14 servings.

Notes: Rather than using 3 round pans, I made this into a bundt cake. I also added a cup of chocolate chips to the mix and reduced the frosting to a cup. It was amazing!
