Aunt Joanne's Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Tidbits...This recipe was given to me by my dear Aunt Joanne. I have so many sweet memories - chocolate cakes, chocolate fudge and chocolate chip cookies were always plentiful in her kitchen. This cake is delicious, very moist, dense and not too sweet. The topping adds just the right crunch. I would love to share a piece with you, Aunt Joanne, over a cup of coffee.
