Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups peeled, shredded zucchini [1 medium]
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and cloves.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the oil, eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in the zucchini. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy! This is also great with ice cream.
