Foodie Friday Returns....Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake

Yummmmmmmmm!

Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake

Stir these together and set aside.

2 1/4 c. flour
2/3 c. cocoa - I used Ghiradelli
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 baking soda
pinch salt

Cream these together in mix master

3/4 c. butter - the REAL stuff
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract - the REAL stuff

Mix in 3 eggs, one at a time.  I find this step to be a little silly, but you never know.

Add 1/2 c. almond milk(I used chocolate almond milk)

Add in the dry mixture from the top of recipe.

Mix in 1 smashed anjou pear(with the skin) and 2 c. grated zucchini.  The pear was shear improvisation because it was sitting there looking sad and over ripe on my counter.

Coat bundt pan with butter and dust with cocoa powder.  Do the dusting over the sink, this makes such a mess!

Pout batter into bundt pan and bake for about 45 mins. on 350 degrees.  I put the pan on the middle rack.

They recommend a cream cheese icing, but I'd rather just taste chocolatey goodness.  The kids are not even noticing the zucchini.  Their little mouths are just saying 'nom, nom, nom!'
