CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI "CAKE" BREAD

Chocolate Zucchini

My neighbor made this the other day and shared a few pieces with me..I love this..It is more like a cake, than a bread. It is very rich.. It is almost the same as my old recipe that I have except I did not use the chocolate..I have missed out on a lot, in my life. This recipe was handed down from a friend of hers and she gave me...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

SMALL BOWL
3 medium eggs
1 c vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c sugar, white
3 c grated zucchinni
LARGE BOWL
2 1/3 c all purpose flour
1/2 c unsweetened cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 c chopped nuts (opt)
1/2 c chocolate chips

Steps:

1. PREHEAT your oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 - 5" x 9" loaf pans. GRATE zucchini, and I after I measured, I cut the 3 cups of grated zucchini again with my kitchen scissors to make smaller pieces.
2. IN A MEDIUM BOWL... mix the eggs, oil, vanilla, sugar and zucchini (grated) with a large spoon until well mixed.
3. IN A LARGE BOWL...combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. I used a wire whip to mix the dry ingredients.
4. ADD the chocolate chips and nuts to the dry ingredients and stir again.
5. ADD the zucchini mixture to the dry ingredients and mix with a large spoon until mixed thoroughly.
6. POUR into 2 greased 5" x 9" loaf pans.
7. BAKE for 45 minutes, until bread tests done.
8. Opt: Omit chocolate chips and cocoa powder and add: 1 tablespoon lemon rind

Tips:

Use a fine grater to grate the zucchini. This will help prevent the cake from becoming too moist.
Be sure to drain off any excess liquid from the zucchini before adding it to the batter. This will also help prevent the cake from becoming too moist.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Chocolate zucchini cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, chocolatey, and has a hint of sweetness. The cake is also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
