Fudge-y Zucchini Chocolate Cake

If you couldn’t tell by now I have a lot of zucchini. Some of them are slightly too large and tend to be less flavorful then the smaller zucchini. So the extra plump zucchini are perfect for recipes like these.  This Chocolate Zucchini cake is so simple, moist, delicious and vegan!  If you have the same zucchini problem as me definitely try this one!
