Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Submitted by Lisa Clarice

"This is my Aunt's recipe and it's a really good chocolate cake recipe and the zucchini makes it nice and moist. You can make it vegan or not. I make this without icing because I don't like all that sweetness. So, feel free to add your favorite chocolate icing. Enjoy!"
