This recipe came from my high school friend's mother. It is so moist and delicious! My husband didn't want to have at first because of the zucchini, but he couldn't even tell it was in there! For a more healthy route, my sister-in-law does this: omit the butter, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 3-3½ cups zucchini. Lastly, instead of buttermilk, you may use ½ cup milk+ ½ Tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice- let mixture stand at least 5 minutes.

Update: No wonder I liked this cake, it is very similar to mine, Zucchini Chocolate Cake This recipe has 1/4 cup more cocoa powder and 1/4 cup less flour then mine .....Sept 9, 09,This is a very easy cake to make which turned out very moist and tender. I reduce the sugar and only used 1 1/4 cups and left out the nuts. After 40 minutes of baking, I tested the cake with a toothpick and it was done. Made for New Kids On The Block 2009 game
