Vegan doesn't always mean healthy and healthy doesn't always mean vegan. Sometimes you have to find a balance. In the world of sweets, most vegan recipes are still typical SAD, white flour processed sugar etc. You really have to play around to find good substitutions. Of course sweets are still sweets, but I think this is about as healthy as it's gonna get lol.
My mother in law brought us some giant man eating zucchinis the other day and I have been googling the crap out of ideas to use them for. I made a batch of muffins and that only used up about 1/4th of ONE lol. Which was similar to this recipe actually except the muffins call for about 1 c of zucchini and this one uses 3cups. It's about half zucchini! I lovers that :)
Zucchini Chocolate cake:

1/2t salt

1 1/2c oil (coconut oil, or half with applesauce)

Mix dry ingredients first, then fold in the wet and bake at 350 for 50-60min.
