colored and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla.

chocolate chips.

CHOCOLATE CHIP ZUCCHINI CAKE
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup margarine or butter softened
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp. cinnamon ( I use more because I
love it!)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk (I make my own with
vinegar)
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 to 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Heat oven to 350°. Grease 13x9 inch pan.
In a large bowl, combine sugar,
margarine, oil, vanilla and eggs; beat
well. Add flour, cocoa, baking soda,
cinnamon, and buttermilk; blend well.
Fold in zucchini, chocolate chips and
nuts. Pour into pan. Bake 350° for 35-40
minutes or until knife inserted in
center comes clean. Try to get it right
when the knife becomes clean so it will
not be too dry. You can cool and frost
with chocolate frosting if you desire, however, this is very moist and wonderful without frosting.

Everyone swears this is made from apples.
(Cup the zucchini in bite-size portions about the size of chunk
pineapple.)
Crust:
4 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound of butter or margarine
Filling:
6 to 8 cups seeded, peeled, sliced zucchini
2/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare the pastry
by combining the flour, sugar and salt in a
bowl. Cut in the butter or margarine until
crumbly. Press half the mixture in the
bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch baking
pan. Save the other half for later. Bake for
about ten minutes, then remove from oven
and set aside. In a sauce pan, cook the
zucchini in lemon juice until tender, about
10 minutes. Add the sugar, nutmeg and
only 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Simmer
for about a minute then add a half cup of
the saved pastry mixture. Simmer until this
thickens stirring constantly. Let cool. Pour
the zucchini mixture over the crust. Mix 1/2
teaspoon of cinnamon with the rest of the
pastry mixture in a bowl then sprinkle it
over the pie. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or
until lightly browned.
