Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Cake wasn't all that flavorful. I could taste the cocoa powder. What kind were we supposed to use? There are so many now that just listing cocoa powder can be confusing. Texture was nice and the glaze was good (used rum not water).

I made this recipie last night for guests and got rave reviews. I made it into 2 round pans instead of a bundt pan and cooked it for about 20 minutes less. The chocolate chips didn't completely melt, so if you like that, use your excess zucchini in this way!! (After grating squash, hand squeeze it before you measure it.)
