Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Everyone is chatting about what the big deal is about zucchini on social media today. My garden is full of ripe zucchini for the picking; this is prime first harvest time and I for one will be loading my freezer up with many tasty treats and frozen veggies and you get to reap the benefits of a tried and true zucchini recipe gem. This is Hubs favourite, I’m more of a loaf type of gal but don’t worry, I’ll be posting that recipe soon too.
