| This cheese grater is awesome! I received it at my surprise bridal shower at work. It has a measuring cup on the bottom of the grater. |
The How To
One thing I learned from these cupcakes is to not refrigerate unless the recipe states it. The cupcakes straight from the oven were wonderfully moist but after making this mistake a few people found them dry and they were on the crumbly side.
First preheat oven to 350degrees. In a separate bowl mix together the sugar, butter and oil. Beat in eggs, one at a time until well incorporated. Stir in vanilla, buttermilk or sour cream, zucchini and chocolate chips.

| Don't worry the batter will look more appetizing in a sec! |
 |
| much better! |
Bake in the center of the oven for about 35mins (I started checking around 20mins then recheck every 3-5mins til done) Cool on a wire rack. Don't overcook them or you will lose the moist goodness or refrigerate in my case.

| These smelled so good when they were cooking! |
Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
1/4cup butter
4cups sugar
1/2cup coco powder
Mix cream cheese and butter until will incorporated and fluffy. Mix in powdered sugar one cup at a time. Then add the coco powder. Don't forget to taste test!!
