Directions
Chocolate Cucuzza Cake, I created this recipe to use up the abundance of cucuzza squash I have growing in my garden Cucuzza is a long green Italian squash with a mild nutty flavor If you don’t have cucuzza, you can substitute zucchini , Excellent recipe! Very moist and flavorful when following the recipe exactly as is Was a bit on the soft side Next time I’ll ensure I squeeze the water out of the cucuzza or cook just a few minutes longer Didn’t hurt the taste at all though as I found it very addictive–so did everyone who tasted it Be forewarned, it’s very difficult to stop at just one piece!, This was delicious! used a zucchini and followed all the directions Of course you can make this with a different frosting, but I think this one is perfect with it The butter in the frosting soaks into the cake and makes it even more moist I think I will double the frosting next time though since I love coconut I shared it with friends and everyone who tried it loved it!
