Zucchini Chocolate Mini Bundts- Toddler Meal Challenge Day 12

m

I love this pic of Sarah, when she was learning to crawl. I was desperate to see her stand then, never did I know once she walked hell would break loose. My arms ache today and the weather in Bangalore has become notorious overnight with power and network being unreliable. Nope I did not bake this today. But I did bake this for Sarah some weeks ago and she loved. Zucchini and pumpkin are my new found love so here’s an easy mini bundt cake using chocolate and zucchini. I used honey for icing instead of chocolate ganache. I hope the weather clears off tomorrow and that I will feel good.
