Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F.

Coat 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray.

Sift flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in large bowl. Set aside. Whisk applesauce, eggs, safflower oil, and vanilla extract in medium bowl. Stir in dry ingredients until combined. Fold in grated zucchini and walnuts until incorporated.

Pour into pan and bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes, then remove and place on rack to cool.

Place heatproof bowl over, but not touching, barely simmering water. Add the chocolate, butter, and milk. Stir until melted and smooth. Spoon glaze over cake and let set slightly before serving.
