Viewed: 31 - Published at: 6 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups Flour
- 3/4 cups Cocoa
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 cups White Sugar (I Use C&H Extra Fine Sugar)
- 4 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1-1/2 cup Canola Oil
- 3 cups Grated Zucchini
- 1/2 bags Chocolate Chips (optional)
- 1/2 cups Walnuts Or Hazelnuts (optional)
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sift all dry ingredients and sugar in large bowl. (flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar)
- Add eggs, vanilla, and oil. Mix by hand.
- Add in grated zucchini. (Its a good idea to place zucchini on clean towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.)
- I used the largest side with my hand grater. I love the extra texture it adds to the cake.
- Combine until all ingredients fully incorporated.
- Place in greased 9x13 pan.
- Cook for about 50 minutes. May need to go longer. Test cake with toothpick to determine if done.
- If you really like dark chocolate, I think shaving some really good quality cacao over the top would be the perfect addition. Ghirardelli even has a 60% cacao bittersweet chip... which just might send a dark chocolate lover into cardiac arrest.
- There's no need for frosting, but if you prefer, cream cheese frosting goes really well!
