My intention with this recipe was to make a brownie packed with some zucchini but it turns out the texture and flavor was much more like devils food cake, so I decided to call it Chocolate Zucchini Snack Cake instead.

You would never believe there is 2 cups of zucchini packed into this cake.  It’s super rich, chocolate-y, and moist and tastes nothing like a vegetable.

It’s a great snack to pack when you’re on the go and makes the perfect partner to a great cup of coffee.

This cake is even better when it’s cold, so be sure to store it in the fridge.
