CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM ZUCCHINI CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE



Chocolate Sour Cream Zucchini Cake with Chocolate Glaze image

This is one heck of a cake on so many levels. For starters, nobody is ever going to guess there's zucchini in here, because it virtually disappears in the baking-there's not even a hint of vegetable flavor or nubbiness that you might expect from grated zucchini. What you will notice is what a moist cake this is, maybe the moistest chocolate cake you've ever had.

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Butter for the pan
3 cups grated zucchini (about 2 smallish ones)
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for salting the zucchini
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 2/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable oil or light olive oil
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
Chocolate Glaze

Steps:

  • Put the grated zucchini in a colander placed over a large bowl. Salt it lightly, tossing gently to mix. Set aside for 30 minutes to drain.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Butter a 9x9-inch cake pan.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt into a bowl.
  • Combine the sugar, butter, oil, eggs, and vanilla in another large bowl. Using an electric mixer (handheld is fine), beat the ingredients on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until well blended. Add one-third of the dry mixture to the liquid and blend it in on low speed. Beat in half of the sour cream, followed by another third of the dry mixture, the rest of the sour cream, and the remaining dry mixture. The batter will start to get heavier late in the mixing, and you may want to do the last bit of mixing with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
  • Lift the zucchini out of the colander and give it a gentle squeeze, but don't squeeze out all the moisture. Add the zucchini to the batter and fold it in with a rubber spatula until evenly mixed. Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth with a spoon.
  • Bake the cake on the middle oven rack for 60 to 70 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and cool thoroughly.
  • When the cake has cooled, prepare the glaze, rewarming it if it has firmed up. When it has thickened slightly but is still thin enough to pour easily, slowly pour it over the cake, tilting the cake to spread it around. Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

ELIZABETH'S CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE



Elizabeth's Chocolate Zucchini Cake image

I got this recepe originally from my friend Elizabeth who had a huge garden and plenty of zucchini. It is a moist, lovely cake that I like plain with no icing or frosting, though Elizabeth would use an orange or lemon glaze . She would also use whole wheat pastry flour. I have also used bittersweet chocolate with great results. Sour cream or yogurt can be substituted for the buttermilk.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini. Fresh zucchini has a higher water content than older zucchini, which will result in a more moist cake.
  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the batter and prevent it from clumping.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in a dry cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

This chocolate sour cream zucchini cake with chocolate glaze is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of chocolate and zucchini is unique and flavorful, and the chocolate glaze adds a rich and decadent touch. This cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
