Moist Chocolate Cake 

You think delicious food is always unhealthy? Think again! Some dishes taste amazing and are actually good for you. Here are 10 recipes you won’t believe are healthy.

Zucchini can be a fantastic base for delicious sweet cakes, like this chocolate cake. Since they help bind the batter, you don't need eggs, and the cake turns out especially moist. Plus, you're getting some vegetables while enjoying your dessert!

Ingredients:

• 3 cups finely grated zucchini
• 7 oz dark chocolate
• 1/2 cup margarine
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• A pinch of salt
• 2/3 cup applesauce
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Wash the zucchini, remove the ends, and grate finely. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the juice. Coarsely chop the chocolate.
3. Place the chopped chocolate and margarine in a bowl and melt over a hot water bath. Smooth out and allow to cool slightly. Grease a loaf pan.
4. Mix the flour with baking powder, cocoa, sugar, and salt. Gradually stir in the applesauce and lemon juice, then add the hand-warm chocolate mixture and blend well. Fold in the zucchini shreds thoroughly. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
5. Bake for about 50 minutes.

Enjoy your moist and delicious chocolate zucchini cake!
