1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a loaf pan (9x5x3) with nonstick cooking oil.

2.In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt, then set aside.

3.In a large bowl, using a hand mixer beat the oil, sugars, eggs, vanilla extract and coffee granules for about 2 minutes.

4.Add the shredded zucchini to the dry ingredients and then in batches add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients; use a spatula to incorporate everything until just mixed.
