The Moistest Chocolate Cake You’ll Ever Have. I kid you not.
Zucchini
Zucchini are some of the easiest vegetables ever to grow, and they tend to be great producers. We love it sauted in tomato and paprika sauce, grilled, on kabobs and shredded into cakes and muffins makes for a super moist dessert that everyone loves. And much like with our Carroty Carrot Cake our Little Helpers could’t believe there was vegetables in it.
Not that I’m trying to sneak them in or anything… oh no. Not me.
