GF Chocolate Zucchini Cake

I made this amazing GF Chocolate Zucchini Cake on Sunday for Mr. Miller's family birthday dinner. Nobody could believe that is was Gluten Free. So moist! I found a recipe on line and did some tweaking so it could work for us. Try it, you won't be sorry. Plus another good way to use up some of that Zucchini population coming from the garden. Should freeze beautifully. Sorry did not make from scratch frosting. I did use cream cheese frosting though. My friend Joan has an amazing Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe I need to get it!
