Chocolate Zucchini Sheet Cake

Submitted by catpete

"A great sweet tooth chocolate fix and a great way to hide the veggie that is good for you. (09-28-2008} The frosting calls for 6 tablespoons of evaporated milk and I was sick of wasting the rest of the can of milk. So what I did was for the 1/2 cup of milk in the cake ingredients, I subed the milk for evaporated milk and it turned out GREAT! MOIST! and Excellent!. Another great Taste of Home recipe Thanks to Charlene Gledhill"
