Chocolate Zucchini Brownies-By Jani

2 cups flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups peeled and grated zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla
nuts optional
sometimes a little bit of water

Mix oil, sugar and vanilla. Add zucchini. Slowly add the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix really good until well blended. If the batter is really thick add a very small amount of water. Pour into greased 9x13 pan and bake at 350* for approx 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. (sometimes you have to check them several times and keep baking a few more minutes until your toothpick comes out clean.) The cooking time on these seem to vary a little bit. These brownies are VERY moist and so yummy!

Frosting:

6 tablespoons butter softened
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk

Mix together until smooth and creamy.

This is one of the recipes I was lucky enough to have of my moms and boy was she a good cook. These brownies do not sound to appetising to me but once you taste them you will say "WOW" I can't believe how moist and yummy these are!
