Family Recipes
If anything has ever been true about our family we love to eat and we love to eat good food there have been countless holidays where we felt like the only thing left to do was fall asleep. Here is a collection of family recipes I am building if you have a recipe you would like to add please email it to me [email protected]

Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Author Danna Donovan (Doty)
I now claim this as mine, but in truth it came from my girl friend Cynthia
Kauht.
It is so moist and wonderful!
Wet stuff
½ cup soft margarine
½ cup vegetable oil
1 ¾ cup sugar
2 whole eggs
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup sour milk (made by 1 tsp lemon juice into ½ cup of milk
and let stand 5 min.)
Dry stuff
2 ½ un-sifted flour
4 tablespoons for CoCo
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp cloves
2 cups shredded zucchini (the small ones work best)
½ cup chocolate chips (the bigger the better ? )
Cream the margarine, oil, sugar.
Add the eggs, vanilla and sour milk. Beat them well with mixer.
Add dry stuff
Then fold in the shredded zucchini
Place in 9 X 12 pan and then sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips
Bake at 325 for 40-45 minuets and do the toothpick test (stick it in the cake
if it comes out dry, its done)
If you like, lightly sprinkle with powder sugar for effect, wonderful either
way.
