Chocolate Zucchini Cake drizzled with Cream Cheese Maple Frosting....

I got a little excited before I took the picture - Half Eaten Chicken Salad

After baking a quick chicken for some amazing chicken ceaser salad (yup, obsessed), I wanted something light and tasty for dessert. Ollie's Mom gave us the most gigantic zucchini, which she said would be perfect for any type of zucchini pastry. Mmmm zucchini pastries. I found a chocolate zucchini cake recipe online, with over 400 positive reviews, so I figured I might as well give it a try. My cakes haven't been turning out fantastic, so I was a little nervous with all these failures. 

Finally, SUCCESS! My new Bunt Pan might have been the culprit, or it was this awesome recipe, whichever, I'm pretending it was me. This was the most perfectly moist cake, with such a good flavor. I omitted the walnuts, as the recipe called for - because my walnuts have been too overpowering lately. This was my first "light" cake. Fluffy! It almost tasted like cake brownies. But not dense! Crazy, I know, but it is unbelievably delicious. The recipe had powdered sugar sprinkled on top, but I had leftover cream cheese maple frosting to drizzle on it. Uh, yum.
