Thread Name: BS: Chocolate Zucchini Cake recipe
Subject: BS: Chocolate Zucchini Cake recipe
When we went to visit 'Spaw I brought dessert, and I promised to send him the recipe. Good for one is good for all, so I thought it best to post it. Shouldn't we get a prefex for cooking or recipes sometime? Anyway, here it is, from my paternal grandmother. No idea where she got it.

1 cup brown sugar          1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup oleo (margarine)    1/2 cup oil

3 cups flour                1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon salt          2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
5 Tablespoons cocoa

3/4 cup buttermilk

3 eggs                     1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini   1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped nuts      1/2 cup raisins

Beat sugars, oil, and olio together.
Sift the dry ingredients together and add alternately with the milk. Add the rest of the ingredients. Pour into a freases 9x13 pan, bake 35 minutes at 325 degrees Farenheit.

I eliminated the salt, only used oil, only used white sugar (this time), used sour milk rather than buttermilk, and baked it in a loaf pan, which results in a longer baking time, but makes it easier to slice and serve.
