CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10 cup bundt pan generously and set aside.
• Grate the zucchinis and place on several layers of paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Use a towel and gently press the zucchini to release the moisture. You don't want it completely dry, just slightly less wet. I ended up with a couple of cups of grated zucchini but it honestly doesn't affect the recipe if you have more or less. I would say between 2 and 3 cups is perfect.
• Whisk granulated sugar, eggs, applesauce, butter, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cocoa powder together. Reserve a couple tablespoons of the mixture, set aside.
• Stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture just until combined.
• Combine the chocolate chips with the reserved flour mixture. Add chocolate chips and grated zucchini to the batter and stir just until all ingredients are combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake the cake for 55 to 65 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the cake cool for ten minutes before inverting onto a plate. Let cake cool completely.

• 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!
