Chocolate cake is a wonderful way to hide zucchini! It melts into the cake as it's baking, and it adds extra fiber and moisture! I like to top this gluten-free and dairy-free chocolate olive oil-cake with Chocolate Avocado Frosting, but a drizzle of Chocolate Ganache is delicious as well.

Very delicious cake and a winner every time with guests. I've been baking it with cherries or strawberries on top and some coconut vanilla whipped cream.

This is one of the best chocolate cakes!! The zucchini makes it so moist that it seems like there are chocolate chips in the cake. It is flavorful and rich and I haven’t even put a frosting on it yet!
