Chocolate Zucchini Cake

What you saw in that recipe video was:

√ super chocolate cake

√ with chocolate chips

√ and milk chocolate fudgy frosting

Ok… quadruple…

√ with chocolate goodies on top (choc chips and ch0c sprinkles!)

Can you just look at how rich and moist this cake is? It tastes even better than it looks, I swear. The real secret behind it are the hidden vegetables inside. If you’re one who believes veggies should have nothing to do with dessert, keep an open mind. Carrot cake, anyone?!

(Seriously veggies and fruits (apple!) produce the moistest cakes on the planet. I love it!)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
• 3/4 cup (63g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (240ml) canola or vegetable oil
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup (80g) sour cream or plain yogurt, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 3 cups shredded zucchini (about 3 medium)*
• 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• chocolate frosting or vanilla frosting

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease two 9x2 inch cake pans. (Make sure they're at least 2 inches high, deep dish style.) Set aside.
2. Make the cake: Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, espresso powder (if using), and salt together in a large bowl. In another large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and zucchini together until combined. Pour into dry ingredients and beat on medium speed until completely combined. Beat in the chocolate chips. Batter will be slightly thick.
