CHOCOLATE-ZUCCHINI CAKE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Unsalted butter, for the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or allspice
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon honey

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.

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE



Chocolate Zucchini Cake image

Zucchini makes this cake very moist. I frosted with chocolate frosting and made one large cake pan instead of 2 loaves. In place of the chocolate chips I used a Hershey's bar. You'll love how easy this comes together--just like a quick bread. Recipe courtesy of Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Cookbook. YUM! If you do make 2 loaves, you can always wrap one in plastic and foil and freeze. It will keep for up to a month. Serving size is estimated.

BEST EVER CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE



Best Ever Chocolate Zucchini Cake image

I've been making this recipe for ions now. It was a collaboration between myself and a friend about 25 years ago. I haven't found one I like better. I hope you will agree. These loaves also freeze very well. Note: You could try using applesauce for some or all of the oil in order to reduce the fat content. However....I haven't tried it myself.

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE



Chocolate Zucchini Cake image

This recipe came from my high school friend's mother. It is so moist and delicious! My husband didn't want to have at first because of the zucchini, but he couldn't even tell it was in there! For a more healthy route, my sister-in-law does this: omit the butter, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 3-3½ cups zucchini. Lastly, instead of buttermilk, you may use ½ cup milk+ ½ Tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice- let mixture stand at least 5 minutes.

ELIZABETH'S CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE



Elizabeth's Chocolate Zucchini Cake image

I got this recepe originally from my friend Elizabeth who had a huge garden and plenty of zucchini. It is a moist, lovely cake that I like plain with no icing or frosting, though Elizabeth would use an orange or lemon glaze . She would also use whole wheat pastry flour. I have also used bittersweet chocolate with great results. Sour cream or yogurt can be substituted for the buttermilk.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 cake, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup oil
2 cups grated zucchini
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon clove
2 dashes nutmeg
4 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup soured milk

Steps:

  • *Note: for sour milk, just add a squirt of lemon juice to regular milk.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F Grease a bundt pan and dist it with cocoa.
  • Mix flour, sugar, eggs, margarin, oil, zucchini, and vanilla together in a big bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix the dry ingredients: salt, baking powder,baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cocoa.
  • Alternately add milk and dry stuff to zucchini mixture, until all is mixed together.
  • Pour into pan and pop it in the oven for 45min, or longer, depending on toothpick test.
  • Recommended: drizzle with the chocolate chips just before putting it into the oven -- seems like shaved/sliced almonds would be grreat on it also!
  • Alternative topping: instead of the chocolate chips, use Fudge Icing Recipe #78040 from this web site (http://www.recipezaar.com/Fudge-Icing-78040). I tried a few frostings and this one was the best with this cake and SO EASY! Amazing consistency.
