• 2 1/2 cups regular all-purpose flour, unsifted,
• 1/2 cup cocoa, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder,
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda,
• 1 teaspoon salt,
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon,
• 3/4 cup soft butter,
• 2 cups sugar,
• 3 eggs,
• 2 teaspoons vanilla,
• 2 teaspoons grated orange peel,
• 2 cups coarsely shredded zucchini,
• 1/2 cup milk,.
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans,
• Glaze

Mix the flour, cocoa, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and soda; put aside. With a beater, beat together the margarine and the sugar until they are slickly blended. Include the eggs to the butter and sugar batter one at a time, mixing well after each addition. With a spatula, mix in the vanilla, orange peel, with zucchini.

Alternately mix the dry ingredients with the milk into the zucchini batter, adding the nuts with the last addition. Pour the mixture into an oily and flour-dusted 10-inch bundt pan.

Then you’ll bake in the oven for almost 50 minutes (you should test at 45 minutes!) or until a tooth pick slotted in the middle comes out clean.

Let it set and cool in pan for almost 15 minutes; turn out onwire rack to set thoroughly. now you can drizzle glaze over cake.

Glaze: add together 2 cups of icing sugar, with 3 Tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix with beater until smooth.
