• 5 alternately add milk and dry stuff to zucchini mixture, until all is mixed together.
• 6 pour into pan and pop it in the oven for 45min, or longer, depending on toothpick test.
• 7 recommended: drizzle with the chocolate chips just before putting it into the oven -- seems like shaved/sliced almonds would be grreat on it also!
• 8 alternative topping: instead of the chocolate chips, use fudge icing fudge icing from this web site (http://www.recipezaar.com/fudge-icing-78040). i tried a few frostings and this one was the best with this cake and so easy! amazing consistency.
