chocolate zuccini cake

Was given a large zucchini yesterday and wanted to make a cake with it. Decided on the traditional wacky cake with a twist. For those who don't know, wacky cake is one of those batters you can lick without fear-no eggs or dairy. Delicious.

my version...

preheat oven to 350F, line/grease and flour 9x9 cake tin

1 c flour
1 c ground flax
3/4 c sugar
4 heaping T cocoa
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt

1 t vanilla
1 T cider vinegar
6 T vegetable oil
3/4 c water
3/4 c grated zuccini

combine all the dry in largish bowl.

combine all the wet in a medium bowl.

add wet to dry, until just mixed, dump into prepared cake tin and put into preheated oven. Give small children the bowl and spatula to lick. This is not a batter that sits well on the counter waiting to go in the oven, it tends to not rise well when that happens. 35-40 minutes later, a moist, dense flavourful cake will be ready to come out.
