Mississippi Mud cake , the name is given because of the resemblance of the banks of Mississippi river. The treat contains a gooey chocolate sauce on top of a crumbly chocolate crusty cake . I tried to make it without eggs and used condensed milk instead . It came out perfect and everyone in the family enjoyed each slice of it. For the second day of BM #33 under Eggless Baking theme, I prepared this cake. So let's start the recipe . Yum

For the last day of BM# 43 under Healthy Desserts for kids , I made this Chocolate Zucchini Cake from King Arthur Site. I replaced a cup of all purpose flour with whole wheat flour . The Zucchini in the cake gave it a moist and gooey texture and everyone in the house loved it. No one could even predict the presence of Zucchini in it. This is a wonderful idea to incorporate veggies in the cake and make it healthy for kids.So let's start the recipe.yum
