<p>Summer is almost over, and my freezer is full of shredded zucchinis, zucchini bread, sliced zucchinis, zucchini and salmon lasagna. I don&#8217;t have any room left, and to be honest, I am sick of eating zucchinis. I will probably forget that by the end of winter, and end up planting 10 zucchini plants like this year.</p>
<p>I hate throwing away food, especially when it took so long to grow it, so I came up with this recipe. Your guests will not be able to tell that there is more than a pound of zucchini in this cake.</p>
<p>Serving : 8</p>
<p>Preparation: 20 minutes</p>
<p>Baking : 45 minutes</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>200 g flour</li>
<li>3 medium eggs</li>
<li>125 ml milk</li>
<li>200 g powdered sugar</li>
<li>1 tsp vanilla extract</li>
<li>700 g zucchini</li>
<li>60 g butter</li>
<li>75 g semi-sweet chocolate chips</li>
<li>50 g almond flour (optional)</li>
<li>almonds or walnuts to decorate the cake (optional)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Instructions:<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Peel the zucchinis, and cut them into small pieces. Boil the zucchinis in a pot filled with salted water for 10 minutes. Once they are tender, rinse well. Place them in a blender and pureed them.</p>
<p>Preheat your oven to 350<em><em></em></em>˚<em>F.</em><em><em></em></em><em></em></p>
<p>Mix the flour, eggs, milk, powdered sugar, pureed zucchinis, almond flour, and vanilla extract together. Melt the butter and the chocolate. Mix everything together. Grease a pie pan. Place the mixture into the pan, and add the almonds or walnuts on top of it (optional).</p>
<p>Bake for 45 minutes.</p>
<p><strong>Enjoy ! </strong></p>
