Chocolate Zucchini Cake

My mom found this recipe in a women's magazine back in the late 80s and basically ignored the frosting directions. I don't think it needs frosting at all, but you can use your favorite recipe or buy ready-made cake frosting.

Prep Time: 20 minutes Bake Time: 35-40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 package devil's food cake mix (It's not cheating.)
• 2 cups shredded zucchini
