Fudgy Orange Zucchini Cake With Orange Glaze

"A co-worker made this with fresh zucchini out of her garden. I loved the combination of chocolate and orange and the zucchini made it extra moist. My husband who only eats chocolate desserts, and hates zucchini, loved it. From the "The City Gardener's Cook Book"."

  1. Absolutely the wrong amount of flour. I ruined a perfectly good expensive cake using this recipe.
     
  2. If you like zucchini cake and chocolate, this is tops! Won 1st at Oregon State Fair and came in second in the Hershey Chococlate Contest 2001
     
  3. I just found this recipe at another source, and the measurements and amounts are identical to this recipe, EXCEPT that the amount stated for the flour is 2 1/2 cups, NOT the amount listed here.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in outside a small town in Oregon, between Salem and Portland. I work in a most beautiful enviroment with Benedictine Monks in St. Benedict Oregon in the Mount Angel Abbey Library. My husband and I have 4 sons (all grown up and on their own). We have 2 grandchildren and one on the way. I am 53 and have been cooking since I was 10. I have approximately 200 cookbooks and they are all my favorites! My husband and I like to travel, especially to the Caribbean. Our favorite place is the Island of Tortola in the West Indies (the best place in the world to buy inexpensive spices!) For the last 15 years I have entered baked foods into the State Fair and now have quite a collection of first, second and third place ribbons.
