YOU-WON'T-KNOW-IT'S DECADENT CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE

This is not just zucchini bread with some cocoa added to make you think this is a chocolate cake. It's a wonderful moist, heavy-on-the-chocolate delicious cake. Truly, no one will ever know that there is zucchini in this recipe. And even my teenage daughter pronounced this recipe "a cinch to make."

Steps:

  • Peel zucchini and cut off ends. (I use the very large zucchini from my garden because the whole zucchini - seeds and all can be used.).
  • Using a food processor, grate and then process zucchini until pieces are quite fine. (Do NOT make a puree.).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare cake pan(s) by using shortening or butter and then using enough cocoa powder to lightly coat 9x13 pan or two 9-inch round pans. If using round pans, cut a round of parchment for the bottom of the pans to be sure of easy release.
  • In large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Sift 1/3 of dry ingredients into creamed mixture then add 1/3 of yogurt.
  • Continue adding sifted dry ingredients and yogurt into mixture by thirds until it is all combined.
  • Fold in zucchini.
  • Pour into cake pan(s).
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans onto cooling rack.
  • Frost with your favorite frosting.

1 1/4 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferably)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces plain yogurt or 6 ounces vanilla yogurt
2 cups zucchini, grated and then cut into even smaller pieces (I use my food processor on a few pulses so that the pieces are quite small)

  • Preheat oven to 350°(F). Cut out three 9-inch round segments of parchment paper to line your cake pans with. Spray each pan generously - sides and bottom - with nonstick baking spray, then place the parchment paper cut out in the bottom of the pans and spray again. It's important to make sure every bit of pan and paper are sprayed so your cakes don't get stuck. Set pans aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric beater, cream the softened butter on medium-speed until completely smooth; about 3 minutes.
  • Using a serrated knife, carefully trim the raised top of each cake, making each one an even, level surface.

  • 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.

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease two 9×2 inch cake pans. (Make sure they’re at least 2 inches high, deep dish style.) Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, espresso powder (if using), and salt together in a large bowl. In another large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and zucchini together until combined. Pour into dry ingredients and beat on medium speed until completely combined. Beat in the chocolate chips. Batter will be slightly thick.
  • Pour batter evenly into cake pans. Bake for around 25-32 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it is done. Allow cakes to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.
  • First, using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard (or crumble over ice cream!). Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Top with 2nd layer and spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides. Pipe any leftover frosting on top. (I used Ateco #30 tip.) Decorate with chocolate sprinkles or mini chocolate chips if desired. Slice and serve.
