It's zucchini time and I can't cook it fast enough. I have so much of it in my garden this year. This Tropical chocolate cake has a hint of cinnamon, dried cherries but you can use raisins and my Zucchini, Pineapple, Ginger Jam recipe #95600 in the frosting but you can use any pineapple jam.

Delicious cake. I loved the chopped cherries in this, which you could taste and see in every bite. Very moist and tender cake. MIne took 55 minutes exactly. I did use Zucchini, Pineapple, Ginger Jam recipe #95600,as recommended, in the icing and it was an excellent compliment to the cake - a litle tangy and a little sweet. A nice idea for a church social or ladies coffee.1Reply
