Tips and Tricks for Moist Chocolate Zucchini Cake?

 

Cake:

• Do not use a huge zucchini. I have never had to squeeze any of the water out of the zucchini before, and I usually use a middle size zucchini. 
• Grate your zucchini with a fine grater. You will not even be able to tell that there is zucchini in the cake. If you want, you could also use a larger grater, but I was happy that no one even knew I had zucchini in the cake. It looked like a regular delicious chocolate cake.
• You could also garnish the cake with chocolate chips, ice cream, grated chocolate or my husbands favorite – a few fresh raspberries.
• Frosting could be used on this cake, but I do not recommend it as this cake is already very sweet. 
• If you like nuts, you could go ahead and add some pecans or walnuts.

 

Whipped Topping:

• Put the whipping cream in a bowl, then mix it with the hand mixer until it is thicker, but not too thick –  you do not want butter.
• Then add 1/4 cup powdered sugar with 2 teaspoon’s of baking cocoa, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
• I have to be careful or I could eat the whole bowl of whipped topping just by itself!
