CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE



Chocolate Zucchini Cake image

This started out with a recipe in a Penzey's spice catalog. We tried it just to get rid of some excess zucchini, but it turned out delicious!

Provided by Toby Jermain

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 12-16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, plus additional for dusting pan (preferably Dutch process)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, more to taste (optional)
1/2 cup butter, softened,plus additional for greasing pan
1/2 cup peanut oil or 1/2 cup canola oil
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk, mixed with
1/2 teaspoon vinegar (or 1/2 cup sour milk or buttermilk)
2 1/2 cups finely shredded zucchini, drained and juice squeezed out (5-6 small zucchini)
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, more to taste
unsweetened whipped cream or very lightly sweetened whipped cream, as accompaniment (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325degF.
  • Grease a 9"x13" baking pan (preferably glass), and dust generously with cocoa powder, tapping out excess.
  • Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, and cinnamon, and optional nutmeg, and set aside.
  • Cream together the butter, oil, and sugar until fluffy, add eggs, vanilla, and sour milk, and blend well by hand.
  • Add drained and squeezed grated zucchini, and stir in well.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Sprinkle the top evenly with chocolate chips, leaving a chip-free 1" diameter area right in the center, and then sprinkle evenly with chopped pecans.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • (That’s what the chip-free spot is for. You will never get a clean toothpick otherwise; it will always be chocolate covered.) If you are using a metal pan, bake at 350degF for 40 minutes.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature in pan sitting on wire rack.
  • If desired, serve with a dollop of very lightly sweetened whipped cream.
  • Refrigerate or freeze leftover cake; this cake is very moist and will mold if left for long at room temperature, but it won't get stale!
