Making the cake

Mom­my Tip: if your goal is to get your kids to eat zuc­chi­ni with­out them even notic­ing it, make sure your kids do not see you put the zuc­chi­ni in the cake. (If you are look­ing for oth­er recipes to get your kids to eat veg­eta­bles, I rec­om­mend this cook­book: Decep­tive­ly Deli­cious: Sim­ple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eat­ing Good Food.)

Step 1: Pre­heat oven to 350 degrees Fahren­heit.

Step 2: Melt the choco­late. (To melt it, you can just put it in the microwave with a table­spoon of water for about 1 minute and 30 sec­onds).

Step 3: In a bowl, whisk the eggs, and add the table­spoon of sweet­en­er.

Step 4: Peel the zuc­chi­ni. Shred it with a Grater or a Food Proces­sor. 

Step 5: Add the shred­ded zuc­chi­ni to the eggs. Mix.

Step 6: Add the melt­ed choco­late. Mix until uni­form in con­sis­ten­cy.

Step 7: Add the flour, the bak­ing pow­der, and a pinch of salt. Mix.

Step 8: Pour the mix­ture in a but­tered Cake Pan. Bake for 25 min­utes.

Option­al: Sprin­kle with Unsweet­ened Shred­ded Coconut for dec­o­ra­tion.

You won’t believe how good it tastes! It is a deli­cious moist choco­late cake! You would nev­er guess it con­tains zuc­chi­ni!
