Imprinted Chocolate Bar | Info

Zucchini is a garden favourite — it's relatively easy to grow and can often yield a true bumper crop. But gardeners (and frankly, the friends and family of gardeners) often wonder what to do with all of their zucchini once they're in season. Since one can only make so many zucchini fritters and baked zucchini side dishes, many people turn to making baked goods out of the ubiquitous squash. There are plenty of recipes out there for delicious zucchini breads and muffins. This recipe adds a little chocolate to the mix.

This cake recipe isn't just ideal for those experiencing a surplus at the height of zucchini season — it's also a great way to sneak an extra serving of veggies into a picky child's (or a picky adult's) diet. There's a full two cups of zucchini in this cake, which not only adds amazing moisture to the dish, but also packs in some extra vitamins. Look for other desserts with carrots or sweet potatoes (or even beets!) in them to expand on this theme.

If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute homemade sour milk. Just add one tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of regular milk and add the amount the recipe requires. This recipe can also be modified to employ different flavours. For example, try omitting the cloves and cinnamon and using mint chocolate chips or butterscotch chips in place of the regular chips.
