Recipe: Dark Chocolate Gluten Free/Casein Free Zucchini Cake
Yes folks summer is in full swing and so is my garden (thanks really to my wonderful green thumbed mother-in-law) and one of the few things that really grow well for us here in the northeast is Zucchini! Since my children won’t touch it with a 10-foot pole..well as any mother would do, I must trick them into eating it..muah ha ha ha. Enter Zucchini cake..many of which are wonderfully spiced cake concoctions, but my personal favorite is (of course) chocolate. Lately, I have been experimenting with my wonderful Gluten Free Betty Crocker Chocolate Cake mix because I find it to be so very convenient to find at the grocery store and easy to use. So the following is such…Enjoy!
