Tips:
- Use a good quality cocoa powder: This will give your loaf a rich, chocolatey flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use ripe zucchini: Ripe zucchini is sweeter and has more moisture, which will make your loaf more moist and flavorful.
- Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini will help it distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Don't overbake the loaf: Overbaking will make the loaf dry and crumbly. Bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
