Camping is one of the best ways to make memories with your family, but it takes a lot of stuff. My husband and I have a packing list we use to pack our camping products each time to make sure we don’t forget some of the important things. We have attached a free downloadable PDF and you can use it to pack next time you go camping!

Tent camping is one of the most economical and wonderful vacations you can take. However, tent camping with a baby is a totally different ball game! My husband and I learned how much we love camping together right after we got married. While initially it …
The zucchini in this cake makes a very nice moist chocolate zucchini cake. However, there are a few other great ingredients that contribute to making this one of the best chocolate zucchini cakes.
Follow along and make this cake with me!
Start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees F and grease a 9×13 pan.
I have used both a stand mixer and a hand mixer for this part and both worked. Next you will want to make sure the butter is softened and cream it with the oil, and both sugars until it is nice and fluffy. Add your eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk. If you don’t have buttermilk, sub 1/2 cup milk mixed with 1 1/2 tsp vinegar or lemon juice.
In another bowl, mix together your flour, cocoa (I used dark but you could use regular), salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Add this to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Stir in the shredded zucchini.
After this pour into the pan and bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
In the meantime, make the frosting. Mix the sugar, cocoa, milk, corn syrup, butter, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool.
After it has cooled down, add the icing sugar and vanilla and beat until a nice icing texture. Add more icing sugar if needed. It will be a bit of a sticky icing.
Pour it over the cake while the cake is still warm but not when it is too hot. You don’t want the icing to just completely melt into the cake.
Enjoy this chocolate zucchini cake just like this or with a side of ice cream and fresh peaches!
