Scents of the chocolate zucchini cake are wafting through the air. It's a surprisingly great cake, the zucchini is mostly there to keep the moisture in the cake. I was always impressed with how well it worked and it's really, really rich with chocolate. Yay! Birthday cake!

Jet's laughing his head off while playing with grandpa. I'm going to be so spoiled these weeks, being able to work and not worry at all about him. It's going to be hard going back to juggling him and work. He loves the attention. Thing is he'll probably love having Joan, Alex, and Haley back, too. So it'll be a wash.

Only you could make zucchini sound good. :)

Happy birthday! And birthday cake!

Hee! John's mom and dad are avid gardeners, so they almost always have more zucchini than they can eat comfortably, and they thought this recipe was a godsend. It doesn't taste like zucchini at all, and it's moist and rich and the top is gooey with chocolate and crisp with nuts so it doesn't need frosting at all.

It was wonderful. Yay! A happy day and a happy making cake! I had it for breakfast today, too. Hee. Chocolate cake for breakfast! Yay!
