I love this weeks Sunday Supper theme of Squash Fest because I'm always looking for different ways to enjoy squash and I can't wait to check out all the tasty recipes that are shared!

I couldn't think of a better way to bring the family back to the dinner table then this Chocolate Zucchini Coffee Cake With Chocolate Crumb it's definitely one of my favorite uses for squash because it's filled with zucchini and lots of chocolaty goodness.

It's perfectly chocolaty and super moist with a crunchy chocolate crumb.
