Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular pan (or equivalent size) by greasing it and lining the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, buttermilk, and shredded zucchini with a whisk until well combined.
  • To a separate bowl (or in the same bowl, on top of the wet ingredients), add the flour, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  • Mix together well with a spatula until combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan immediately and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan until cooled completely before slicing and serving.
