For all of you gardeners out there who always have more zucchini in the summertime than you know what to do with -- this recipe is for you. Keep it handy for next year.
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup oil
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
2 1/2 cups flour
4 Tbsp cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
2 cups finely grated zucchini
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup nuts (optional)
Cream butter, oil, and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and sour cream. (You can use buttermilk instead.) Blend well. Sift dry ingredients. Mix with creamed mixture and add zucchini. Grease and flour 9 x 13" pan. Pour in cake mix. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.
Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. May take a little bit longer.

My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.
