| all of this from one zucchini---2 chocolate zucchini cakes, 3 loaves of bread, a dozen muffins |
The Chocolate Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake recipe comes from King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking Cookbook, always a great source for baking recipes.
Cake
Ingredients:
2 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c canola oil
1/2 c buttermilk
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 c shredded zucchini
1 c chocolate chips
Glaze
1/2 c cream
3/4 c chocolate chips
2 tsp corn syrup (I make a similar glaze for another recipe without the corn syrup so I omitted this)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°, grease and dust tube pan with cocoa.
Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda & powder, salt in medium bowl.
In mixing bowl blend sugar and oil together, then add eggs, buttermilk & vanilla mix well.
Add flour mixture alternately with zucchini till blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared tube pan. Bake about 45-50 minutes. Let cool about 15-20 minutes then remove from tube pan, slide knife around edges to ease the cake out of the pan.
When completely cooled mix glaze mixture in top of double boiler stir till smooth then drizzle over cooled cake.
options: this would be great with walnuts stirred in batter, add a couple tsp of cinnamon, dried cherries

| when making something chocolate I dust the pan with cocoa instead of flour |
 |
| you could use a bundt pan or a 9 x 13 pan |
 |
| a special treat this day I had duck eggs from a friend who owns a duck farm.......the give baked goods a richer flavor |
 |
| I made it to this stage then froze it, when defrosted it gets a chocolate glaze or you could dust it with confectioner sugar |
