Chocolate Zucchini Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Cream butter then add oil and sugar; mix.
• Add next 8 ingredients; mix well.
• Fold in the chips and nuts by hand.
• Put in a greased and floured 9 x 13 pan.
• Bake at 325° for 1 hour or until done.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add the eggs and oil, mix well. Fold in the nuts and zucchini until they are evenly distributed. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool cake completely before frosting with your favorite frosting.

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!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Butter & flour a 9x13 pan.
• Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, & salt into a medium size bowl.
• Beat sugar, butter, & oil with dry ingredients until well blended.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Beat in vanilla.
• Mix in dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk in 3 additions each.
• Stir in grated zucchini.
• Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips & nuts (optional) over top.
• Bake about 50 minutes, testing with toothpick.
• Cool cake in pan.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch-square cake pan. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.
• Toss 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl. Whisk the remaining flour, the cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Beat the sugar, 1/2 cup olive oil, the eggs and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and pale, about 3 minutes. Add the flour-cocoa mixture; beat on low speed until combined, about 2 minutes (the batter will be thick). Add the zucchini and beat until combined, about 2 more minutes. Fold in the flour-coated chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Make the glaze: Combine the remaining 1/3 cup chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon olive oil and the honey in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium-high power in 30-second intervals, stirring, until the chocolate is melted. Spread over the cake, then cut into pieces.

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients and set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and add sugar, 1/4 cup at a time. Add chocolate, then add oil. Add flour mixture and blend well. Fold in zucchini and pecans. Mix well and pour into bundt pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before removing cake from pan. Sprinkle powdered sugar on cake and serve.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, pecans, coconut, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, vanilla and eggs and stir in the grated zucchini. Fold this into the dry ingredients. The batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together. If it still seems too dry, just add a little more milk.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs and the cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla just until smooth. Add the milk if necessary.
• Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped pecans.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Prepare cake batter as directed on package. Add dry pudding mix; beat 2 min. Add zucchini; beat just until blended. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-inch round pans.
• Bake 28 to 30 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans 10 min.; invert onto wire racks. Gently remove pans; cool cakes completely.
• Spoon frosting into medium bowl. Add COOL WHIP; whisk until blended. Stack cake layers on plate, filling and frosting with COOL WHIP mixture.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 10-inch springform pan with butter or oil.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a food processor, process the sugar and butter until creamy (you can also do this by hand, armed with a sturdy spatula). Add the vanilla, coffee granules, and eggs, mixing well between each addition.
• 3. Reserve a cup of the flour mixture and add the rest to the egg mixture. Mix until just combined; the batter will be thick.
• 4. Add the zucchini and chocolate chips to the reserved flour mixture and toss to coat. Fold into the batter and blend with a wooden spoon-don't overmix. Pour into the prepared cake pan and level the surface with a spatula.
• 5. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Transfer to a rack to cool for 10 minutes, run a knife around the pan to loosen the cake, and unclasp the sides of the pan. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
