Chocolate Zucchini Cake


This is a really yummy & moist cake!




Chocolate Zucchini Cake


1/2 C. butter, softened (I use 1/2 C. unsweetened applesauce instead)

1/2 C. oil

1 3/4 C. sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 C. sour milk (add 1 tsp. vinegar or lemon juice to 1/2 C. milk & let it sit for 5 minutes)

2 1/2 C. flour (I do half whole-wheat flour)

5 Tbsp. cocoa

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. soda

3/4 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. cloves (I didn't have any, so I used nutmeg instead)

1/2 tsp. salt

2 C. finely diced zucchini (I just shred it)

1 C. chocolate chips (I like to do 1/2 milk chocolate & 1/2 semi-sweet)



Mix cake in order of ingredients & fold in zucchini last. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan & sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake at 325 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cake cool & sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
