Caught red handed with my fork in the cake pan my husband had to take this picture. My friend Camille posted a recipe for her chocolate zucchini cake and with the surplus of zucchini growing in our garden I knew I had to try making it gluten free. As you can tell from the picture, it was a success! This cake is moist and delicious and since it has vegetables in it you can almost not feel guilty going in for another piece. I swapped out the flour cup for cup with my gluten free flour blend and added a 1/2 teaspoon xanthum gum. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. Here it is:3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup oil
2 cups zucchini, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups gf flour blend
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup oil
2 cups zucchini, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups gf flour blend
1/2 teaspoon xanthum gum
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tablespoon vanilla
Mix all ingredients together and bake in a 9x13 in cake pan ( I sprayed it with pan) for 25-35 minutes at 350 or until toothpick comes out clean. Frost with favorite chocolate frosting.

Thank you so much for this recipe! I've made it twice now, and it's a definite keeper. I live at high-altitude, so I've made the necessary adjustments, and it's excellent. Definitely a "plate optional" dessert!
Just wanted to let you know I too adapted your recipe to match one my great grandmother used to make. I want to thank you for posting such a wonderful gluten-free chocolate zucchini cake recipe. I have linked back to your page from mine. (http://freshandfeisty.blogspot.com/2009/08/its-that-time-of-year-again.html)
