Chocolate Zucchini Cake


                                                                             Jalapeno plant


I loved the blossoms on the Jalapeno  plant..  It made such a great picture.  I have been going to take a picture for a couple of days. Made myself go and do it. Even if it has nothing to do with my recipe.  I guess there is a picture of the zucchini plant in the first one.   
I had to post another Zucchini recipe.  This is Tamera Heaths recipe.  She is a great cake maker. I so enjoyed being with their family.  This is to the Heaths.  Enjoy!!!
