Chocolate Zucchini Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

This cake is moist and fudgy, a great way to use up some of your summer zucchini. Would also be good with chocolate ganache, a thin white icing or glaze or even just sprinkled with chocolate chips while hot. *i used hershey's special dark cocoa- it's a mix of dutch and regular unsweetened so i think either would work here

Time 50m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup oil (i used coconut)
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups zucchini, shredded (generous cups!)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
8 ounces cream cheese, soft
2 tablespoons butter, soft
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar (or to taste)

Steps:

  • cream sugar, oil and butter.
  • add eggs, yogurt and vanilla.
  • sift dry ingredients and add to wet- batter will be really thick, moisture from the zucchini will come out while cooking.
  • fold in zucchini and chocolate chips.
  • spread in greased 13x9 in pan and bake at 325 for 30-35 minutes.
  • cool completely and frost
  • beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy, beat in vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth- i start adding it by 1/2 cup increments and taste along the way.
  • refrigerate until serving.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
