    How would you like a recipe for a moist, chocolatey, delicious dessert? That sounds pretty great, right?

    And what if I told you it was also super easy to make, and chock full of zucchini? Hooray! And Greek yogurt as well? Bonus!!

    Admittedly, I am a little late to the tail-end-of-summer zucchini party, but the last few weeks I took some time off from the blog to give myself a little bit of a break. My regular job has been extremely busy and it has been sucking up a lot of my energy.

    Most of the time, by the time I sign out of work for the night, I am exhausted and totally ready for bed. Which makes it tough to sit down and focus on bloggy tasks in the evening!

    But, better late than never, right? You don't want to miss out on this cake, and hopefully you still have a few zucchini left to use up!
