Instructions

1. Wash and grate the zucchini into a bowl. Sprinkle with roughly 1/4 tsp salt and mix through. Allow to sit while you prepare the other ingredients.

5. Strain and squeeze the extra moisture out of the zucchini using a sieve. Add to the mixture and stir to combine.
6. Grease a cake tin (20cm). Pour in the cake mix and cook for 40 mins to 1hr or until a cake skewer comes out clean.
7. Remove the cake from the tin and allow it to cool.
8. Once the cake is cool pop it in the fridge whilst you make the Avocado chocolate mousse (see recipe card below)
