2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
2 cups white sugar (I use a bit less)
2 cups grated raw zucchini
3 tsp. vanilla
3 tsp. cinnamon
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup cocoa
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
1 cup nuts (optional)

Beat eggs, then add sugar, oil, zucchini, vanilla and water. Mix sifted dry ingredients into first mixture. Add chocolate chips.

Bake at 325°F for 1 hour. I tell my picky kids this is chocolate chip cake, and they don't even know the zucchini is hidden within. Great to send for snacks in their lunches.

Yield: 2 loaves or a 9x13 pan.
