Chocolate Zucchini/Courgette Cake : Low Carb : Gluten Free

Libby at 'Ditch The Carbs' says, "this Low-Carb Chocolate Zucchini/Courgette Cake is an ideal moist keto chocolate cake filled with healthy shredded zucchini. You can’t taste any of the zucchini in the cake batter and the final baked cake won’t show any signs of having used any vegetables! It’s a sneaky way for your kids to eat their greens! At only 5.2g net carbs per slice, it’s the perfect healthy dessert."
