Рецепт Zucchini Chocolate Cake - Solar Baked! with conventional oven option
 Incredibly moist and choc-delicious. A yummy way to use up summer zucchini. |
 Oven temp was nearly 300 degrees, but dropped when lid was opened to put cake inside. It baked at about 250-275 remaining time. Would have baked quicker in a dark pan but all I had were shiny. |
 About 45 minutes into baking time, top is firm enough to sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and pecans, then continue baking to cook the middle. |
 Cooled cake: double-click photo to see edges pulled away from sides. I didn't get pecans and chocolate evenly sprinkled - oh well! |

One of my absolute favorites and most requested cake recipes is this yummy chocolate cake. Couldn't wait til summer's over to turn the oven on indoors, so I just heated up the solar oven outside! What I especially like is the self-frosting the mini- chocolate chips and pecans create on top. If you like 'em ooey-gooey, serve cake the same day, but I like them to firm up so I usually make the day before. I had to cut the original recipe in half so pan would fit the solar oven. (See "Useful Links" below for the original cake baked conventionally, which is full size.)
