Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake

This is another one of my favorite ways to use zucchini.  I got it from a church cookbook from back home.  Thank you Tammy Mar.  The warm gooey goodness of this cake with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream just seems to melt away  the stresses of the day.  It is better to eat it right out of the oven or put a piece in the microwave for a few seconds, but always with ice cream.  If you're feeling like a little more sweetness use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.  I don't use nuts because I feel they get in the way of the gooey-ness.  Let me know if you like it!
