WON'T KILL THE DIET CHOCOLATE CINNAMON ZUCCHINI CAKE



Won't Kill the Diet Chocolate Cinnamon Zucchini Cake image

This is a revamp of an old recipe I had. I made some changes to make it a bit more diet friendly. It contains less fat and sugar then the original recipe. The best thing about it is it is loved by all including my picky eaters who do not like zucchini.
