Vegan chocolate zucchini cake

2 C grated zucchini

½ Cup sour milk (soy milk with 1 Tbsp vinegar)
½ - 1 Cup oil
1-2 tsp vanilla
(2 eggs OR + 1 Tbsp vinegar for vegan) put the vinegar in with the milk

2 ½ C flour
4 Tbsp Cocoa
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
(1 tsp baking soda if using eggs, 2 tsp baking soda for vegan)

Combine liquid ingredients & Dry ingredients in separate bowls. Mix Liquid and Dry right before baking (the vinegar & baking soda will react). I baked them in two cake pans, oiled and floured.. for about 40 min. We also made a raspberry sauce for the middle by cooking down the berries and adding a bit of sugar. mmmm.
