Which Cake is better for you?

Question

Ok. I was wondering if zucchini chocolate cake is healthier that regular chocolate cake? Thanks

Answer 1

By just a smidge-  both still have butter and sugars.  I've never heard of a zucchini chocolate.  My cookbooks have a white/yellow zucchini cake  

Answer 2

depends what ingredients you're putting in both cakes, i.e oil, butter, eggs, sugar, etc...  

Answer 3

By technicality the zucchini will add more calories so you could consider it less healthy. If you want to improve the nutrient value of your cake use dark chocolate as opposed to milk chocolate. You can also use applesauce in place of the oil or eggs when making the batter.

Answer 4

There's probably some nutritional value to the zucchini, but not alot when it's been cooked for so long.  Plus, you don't put that much in a cake, divided by how many slices it makes.  I don't know that chocolate goes that well with vegetables either:) ... You could also put a banana or 2 in the batter.
