This cake is my brother's and husbands absolute favorite, even over cakes without vegetables in them lol. It's actually a spoof off of another zucchini cake on this site, but with a lot of tweaking for my health concious family. Though, really, by the time I frost it, the health part is minimal. The flavor though is fantastic! I hope you like as much as we do

SERVES 8 -10 , 1 Double Layered 9'' cake (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups Splenda granular
6 tablespoons egg whites
1/2 cup butter (melted)
1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup cocoa
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups summer squash, grated
3/4 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1
Mix first three ingredients.
2
Add butter. I don't know why, but the splenda will coagulate and the batter will be good for nothing if the butter is mixed in before the others.
3
Mix all the rest of ingredients, excluding the chocolate chips, with electric mixer. Beat well.
4
By hand, mix chocolate chips.
5
Pour into two, well greased, nine inch round pans and bake at 350 for about twenty minutes to half an hour. Check it with a toothpick test around 20 minutes. Pay close attention, because this is where it's likely to go wrong if anywhere.
6
Turn out and let cool.
7
I always use a chocolate buttercream frosting and do a double layered deal. It tends to also be better after it's cooled some and the frosting has had time to harden.

Enjoy!
