Ok, this so does not count as eating a vegetable given what little nutritional value peeled zucchini has in the first place. It's yummy though.
Zucchini cake
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/4 c buttermilk OR milk
2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup cocoa
2 cups peeled and grated zucchini (I try to squeeze some water out)
Preheat oven to 350.
Combine sugar, oil, vanilla, egg, buttermilk in a mixer and beat well. Combine flour, salt, soda, cocoa; sift or whisk. Alternate adding flour mixture and zucchini to mixer, starting and ending w/ flour. Pour into 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until tester comes out clean.
