"This began as a recipe I saw on pinterest for zucchini brownies, but with a couple of alterations to help make them healthier they turned into the most moist and fudgy chocolate cake I've ever had that didn't include oil. It's true, the main liquids in this cake are the zucchini and the pumpkin, neither of which can be tasted. I'm not sure where the frosting came from, but its really yummy on this cake:) "

I try to make a cake at least once a week. This tasted fabulous and it was really hard not to have another piece after I finished the first one. I will be making another cake very soon, as the pressure is on from my fiance to have it again. The frosting was great and just right for the cake. I loved the texture and taste of it!
