Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This year the zucchini is growing really nicely. I have one recipe for zucchini bread so that I could make use of the abundant supply of zucchini, but I found myself also craving chocolate. So I added cocoa and that's how I came up with this recipe.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Quite a different flavor combo, but this chocolate zucchini praline Bundt cake totally works. The cinnamon chocolate flavor is well balanced. Apples and zucchini give the cake a moist texture. Crunchy and sweet, the topping is quite tasty. It will be a treat for your family and friends who get a slice.
