There was a request for zucchini squash recipes a few days
ago. I pulled this and another from old articles that I submitted to
the net. For those of you that saw them the first time, pardon the
repetition............
CHOCOLATE NUT ZUCCHINI CAKE
INGREDIENTS
3 Squares unsweetened chocolate
3 Cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
4 eggs
3 Cups sugar
1 Cup salad oil
3 Cups finely grated zucchini
1 Cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
TECHNIQUE
Melt chocolate over hot, not boiling water. Let cool. Preheat oven to
350 degrees (F). Grease well and flour a 10-inch tube pan. ( The author
used two loaf pans. )
Sift flour with baking powder, soda and salt. Set aside. In a large
bowl of an electric mixer ( at high speed ) beat eggs until somewhat frothy.
Gradually add sugar 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add salad oil and cooled chocolate and beat until well blended. At low speed
add sifted dry ingredients, mix until smooth. Add grated zucchini and nuts.
With a wooden spoon, stir until well combined.
Turn batter into prepared pan(s) and bake 1 hour and 15 mins. ( If you use
loaf pans, bake 1 hour) At any rate, the surface should spring back when
pressed lightly with fingertips. Cool in pan on wire rack 15 mins. Remove
from pan and allow to cool thoroughly on wire rack.
Before serving, sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Cut into thin slices.
Enjoy!
