Chocolate Rolo Zucchini Cake
Chocolate Rolo Zucchini Cake
Chocolate Rolo Zucchini Cake is a delicious cake that is made with a boxed cake mix, making it nice and easy. Doctoring up a boxed cake mix is one of the easiest way to give it that old fashioned taste. Your guests won’t even suspect that this is a boxed cake mix. Topping the cake with chocolate chips, chopped walnuts and Rolo mini candies before baking, turns this fast and easy cake into a masterpiece.
Brief History
Zucchini [zoo-KEE-nee] A popular summer squash shaped like a slightly curved cylinder; a bit smaller at the top than the bottom. A zucchini’s skin color can vary from dark to light green, sometimes with yellow markings that give it a mottled or striped look. The off-white flesh has a very pale green hue and the flavor is light and delicate. Select small zucchini, which will be younger and therefore more tender, have thinner skins and less seeds.

Chocolate and Zucchini
One of my favorite ways to use zucchini that I’ve picked up at the local farm stand is this recipe for chocolate cake. Chocolate and zucchini pair together extremely well. Adding a “pinch” of ground cinnamon to the batter enhances the flavor even more. Let’s not forget the mini rolo candies! The mini rolo candies become ooey and gooey and that’s a good thing, right?!?
