Ingredients
For this delectable cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional for extra indulgence)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your chocolate swirl zucchini cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet zucchini mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Now, swirl the remaining batter on top and use a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, slice into squares and serve. You can dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch!
