Preparation

Step 1

1.) Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Coat a 11" x 8" baking pan with cooking spray.

2.) Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

3.) Whisk the eggs, sugar, yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Whisk in the zucchini and 1 1/2 cups of the chips. Stir into the flour mixture just until blended. Spread into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

4.) Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups chips over the cake. Spread with a small spatula as they melt to form an icing, placing back into the warm oven, if needed, for about 1 minute.
