Chocolate cake with zucchini (zucchini)

This is a very tasty chocolate-chocolate recipe: chocolate pastry with chocolate chunks inside and a chocolate glaze on top. Don't be wary of adding zucchini to the batter - it doesn't feel at all like zucchini in the finished pie, but adds a velvety moistness to it. The finished pie is rich, heavy, and somewhat similar to a brownie or chocolate cupcake. For chocolate addicts, it's hard to think of a better bake - an easy to make but delicious cake.
