Tis the seaon

Have you ever walked out on your front porch and found that someone had left you a gift?
I am not sure about other places, but here if it is August the gift is probably zuchinni.
We found this morning that someone had left us that exact thing (thanks Don).
But I found a wonderful recipe to help use those large zuchinni's

Zuchinni Fudge Cake

1 cup butter, softened
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
3 cups shredded zuchinni

(HINT: put the zuchinni, eggs and buttermilk in blender and blend then no one will see the zuchinni.)

Combine all ingredients and bake in 2 8 by 10 cake pans or large cookie sheet for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Cool and frost.

Frosting:

3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup softened butter
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup milk.
Mix all ingredients. Frosting will be runny but hardens as it sits

It is YUMMY!!!
