DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD



Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread image

This is one of those recipes I tried for something different, and it became more popular with my family than the original version of zucchini bread I was making. It is moist and loaded with chocolate flavor, packing two kinds of chocolate for maximum chocolate enjoyment: unsweetened cocoa powder and semi sweet chocolate chips,...

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large eggs
1/3 c honey
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 c baking cocoa or dutch-process cocoa
1 2/3 c all purpose flour
2 c shredded, unpeeled zucchini (gently pressed between layers of a clean tea towel to get rid of excess moisture)
1 chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F; spray an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray .
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, honey, oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • 3. Sift in the salt, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa, and flour, stir until well combined.
  • 4. Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan.
  • 5. Bake the bread for 65 to 75 minutes, until the loaf tests done (a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center will come out clean, there maybe a tiny bit of chocolate on the toothpick from the melted chips, that is ok).
  • 6. Remove the bread from the oven, and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a rack. Cool completely before slicing; store in an air tight container.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Zucchini: Choose small to medium-sized zucchinis, ideally around 6-8 inches in length. These tend to have a higher ratio of flesh to seeds, resulting in a more moist and flavorful bread.
  • Grating the Zucchini: Before grating, wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Use the large holes of a box grater to achieve a coarse and even texture. Avoid finely grating the zucchini, as it can release too much moisture and make the bread dense.
  • Measuring the Zucchini: Once grated, measure the zucchini accurately. The recipe calls for 2 cups of grated zucchini, which is approximately equal to 1 medium-sized zucchini. If using larger zucchinis, adjust the quantity accordingly.
  • Draining the Zucchini: After grating, place the zucchini in a colander over a bowl. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt over the zucchini and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This helps draw out excess moisture, resulting in a lighter and fluffier bread.
  • Preparing the Baking Pan: Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Alternatively, you can line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the bread.
  • Mixing the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Make sure to thoroughly combine the dry ingredients to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.
  • Mixing the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Ensure that the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  • Combining the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a tough and dense bread.
  • Adding the Zucchini: Gently fold the grated zucchini into the batter. Be careful not to overmix, as this can release more moisture and make the bread soggy.
  • Adding the Chocolate Chips: Divide the batter into two equal portions. Fold half of the chocolate chips into one portion and the remaining half into the other portion.
  • Swirling the Batter: Pour one portion of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Carefully spoon dollops of the second portion of batter on top. Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect.
  • Baking: Place the loaf pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
