Chocolate Zucchini Bundt

I am excited that is it #BundtBakers time again. I had to join in on this one with a delicious Chocolate Zucchini Bundt for the theme of Autumn Harvest. Due to a very early and huge snowfal everything from our our gardens was pulled out, including our zucchini. Last year I made chocolate zucchini bread and it was a huge hit. So this year I thought I would take those two ingredients to a new level and make a bundt with them.

Rich, moist and full of one pound of zucchini that you would never know is there. Why add the zucchini at all? Well, it is a healthy way to get some veggies in but it adds such fantastic moisture to your bundt with little calories!

Not that we are really counting calories when eating cake, especially with this out of this world fudgy chocolate glaze on top!!
