Marlys’ Healthy Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Farm-Tested Recipes · August 17, 2019 · Last Updated: August 17, 2019

Grandma Billie’s Moist Chocolate Zucchini Cake has been a staple at birthday parties and potlucks for years. Many is the time we’ve enjoyed the look of surprise on someone’s face when we tell them the sweet and moist cake they are enjoying has zucchini in it.

However, Grandma’s recipe also included lots of sugar and dairy. So this summer, Marlys decided to create a dairy free, refined sugar free version of the moist chocolate zucchini cake we all love.

We think you’ll agree that it’s the perfect way to use up an extra zucchini or two.

This year, we've been taking advantage of the fact that some of the training and conferences we've always wanted to attend are now virtual. This week, we're tuning in to @northwestfcs Young, Beginning, and Small Producers Virtual Conference. Today's topics? Financial management, DISC and effective communication, and business plans.

"It is simply wonderful what a leverage upon socie "It is simply wonderful what a leverage upon society a few acres of land, a cow, a pig or two, and a span of horses gives a man. I'm ridiculously independent. I'd be the hardest sort of a man to dislodge or crush. I tell you, my friend, a farmer is like an oak, his roots strike deep in the soil, he draws a sufficiency of food from the earth itself, he breathes the free air around him, his thirst is quenched by heaven itself—and there's no tax on sunshine."

(David Grayson, Adventures in Contentment, 1907)
