Chocolate Cake Mix Zucchini Bread

I’ve made a similar recipe in the past you may remember with a yellow cake mix for those who aren’t a fan of chocolate.

The recipe is quick and will make the most moist flavored bread using a cake mix.

This moist quick bread is really the ultimate chocolate cake/bread when zucchini hits the farmers market in abundance at a great price to make this easy cake mix zucchini bread..

This popular summer indulgent treat will be a great holiday gift for neighbors and friends because it freezes perfectly so you can make several ahead of time.

I add a hint of cinnamon to ours because it gives a fall-tasting flavor however it’s just an option if that’s not your preference in flavors.

Serve this up with a dollop of whipped cream, dusted with powdered sugar, or for those addicted to chocolate make a delicious chocolate icing glaze to top off your bread..

Don’t worry zucchini isn’t tasted in this loaf so if you’d like to get those vegetables into kids, fool them with this cake, they’ll never know zucchini is hidden in this loaf of sweet delight!.

The bread is a chocolate slice and also makes a great ice cream-topped dessert with hot fudge in warmer weather.
