Zucchini Chocolate Cake

🍰 Desserts

Shredded zucchini melts into the crumb, the garden-glut cake disguised as dessert. A tender, bakery-style crumb that stays moist for days. Serve thick slices with tea or a spoonful of whipped cream.

  • Cocoa Powder1/2 cup
  • Chocolate Chips1 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F, grease the tin and dust it so nothing sticks later.

  2. 2

    Cream the butter, sugar and chocolate chips together until the mixture turns several shades lighter.

  3. 3

    Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk, folding with a spatula so the batter stays airy.

  4. 4

    Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes; cool in the tin for ten before turning out.

  5. 5

    Level the top, pile on the frosting, and let it rest ten minutes before slicing.

Chef's tip

Ovens lie — an inexpensive thermometer is the cheapest upgrade to your baking.
