Chocolate Squash Pie

The recipe for this chocolate cake is very interesting! The fact is that there is grated zucchini in the dough, but this cannot be determined either by taste or by appearance. It is the grated zucchini that gives the cake moisture and juiciness, at the same time, the cake rises and bakes well, it turns out to be as chocolate and bubbly as a bar of porous chocolate. Try it!

1. Prepare the required ingredients. Chocolate can be used both dark and milk. I used 1 large egg (80 g), if the eggs are small, then take 2 pcs. During the cooking process, you will need parchment paper.
