Chocolate Zucchini (Cougette) Cake

This cake is so easy to make and so good to eat that I may never use another recipe for a cake again!

Ingredients:

2 eggs
3/4 cup oil (6fluid oz)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour (8 oz in a liquid measure cup)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (courgette)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Beat the eggs, oil, sugar, salt and vanilla until well blended. Sift four, soda, cinnamon, and cocoa, and mix well with the egg-sugar combination until smooth. Stir in the zucchini (courgette) and nuts. Pour into a cake pan about 9"x9" and bake at 350F or 180C for 20 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. (The cooking time will depend on the size of the pan.) I prefer serving this cake slightly warm from the oven and without icing.
