Recipe of the Week: Zucchini-Devil's Food Snack Cake
Many moons ago I made this delicious, pretending-to-be-healthy-by-adding-vegetables cake. You can tell it was a long time ago from the picture of my mid-section which doesn't look anything like that anymore and it's not solely due from eating all that cake.
Betty Crocker has four gluten-free baking mixes, gluten-free Bisquick, and a website full of recipes so you can jazz up those mixes and look like you're a great baker. You can find this recipe here. Yum!
