I went to the farmers market the other day and they had some zucchini. Love making zucchini bread but even better there was a Chocolate Zucchini Cake recipe in my cook book. Making it wasn't too hard. I have a food processor that I bought a couple of years ago that I love so I used it to shred the zucchini. It took about one of the big zucchini's that I bought to cover the recipe.
Now the custard that you are suppose to put on top of the zucchini could have been a little bit sweeter in my opinion. I tried adding a little more sugar at the end but I don't think it worked out well enough. I would add more when making it from the beginning and oh, when they say use a large sauce pan they mean it. I used a 3qt sauce pan thinking it would be big enough until the custard started to rise and I had to quickly remove it off the stove and over the sink. Don't worry I didn't loose to much. If you don't like custard then you could probably use a frosting or put a little bit of powdered sugar on it, it probably wouldn't have tasted bad with a glaze. I may try that next time some type of light chocolate glaze or a sugar type glaze. All in all it was very yummy. It's no zucchini bread but with a nice cup of coffee it tasted just as good if not a little bit better.
Sorry about the appearance of my cake apparently that side of the cake didn't get enough grease and flouring, either that or I needed to let it cool a few min. longer in the pan.
