Chocolate Zucchini Cake

This recipe comes from my mother. My family has had quite a battle with sugar the past 10 years. My dad was diagnosed with brain cancer 18 years ago and 3 of my sisters and I have Candida (too much yeast in our bodies). With all that we had one thing in common we could not eat sugar. If you know my family this was not a fun thing to hear. We LOVE sugar. We decided to find and figure out sugar free treats that we could eat. This is one of our favorites. I love to make this at the end of summer and into the fall because it is another way to use all the zucchini’s that over flow from my garden.
