Tips:
- To achieve a moist and tender cake, use fresh zucchini and grated it finely. The zucchini adds moisture to the cake and helps keep it from becoming dry. Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini before adding it to the batter.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor. You can use either natural or Dutch-process cocoa powder, but Dutch-process will give you a darker and more intense chocolate flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake cooks evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
