Nuts can be added to this awesome of a cake. Dont tell your kids it's zucchini, and they wont know the difference! the batter is very very fluid, but believe you me, it is sooooooo awesome when it bakes up all moist and fluffy. This is one of many awesome ways to use up some of the plethora of zucchini you have in your garden! For a single recipe, i used one Big-ass zucchini and scooped out the seeds before grating it by hand. (the fruit is about a foot and a few inches long to give you an idea)

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3 cups grated zucchini
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
3. Add the eggs and oil, mix well
4. Fold in the zucchini until evenly distributed.
5. Pour into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool cake completely before frosting with your favorite frosting.
