Chocolate Zucchini Cake
I got this original recipe off of allrecipes and changed it a bit to fit my needs better.
2 1/2 cups whole wheat or spelt flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2 Tbls ground flax seed
4 Tbls water
(you could use two eggs in place of the flax and water)
1 cup Sucanot
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup coconut or olive oil
3/4 cup apple juice concentrate, thawed
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup water (could use milk, or almond milk)
3 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini
1 cup shredded carrots
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. mix all dry ingredients together, then add the wet. Lastly add the zucchini and carrots and mixed until just moistened. Bake for 35-45 min or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
Serve plain, or add this simple frosting recipe from Robyn, at greensmoothiegirl.com
1/2 cup powdered sucanot (if you don't have powdered sucanot just put sucanot into a coffee grinder and make it)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup water
My boys at this up like crazy! They loved it and I didn't mind so much letting them eat it!
