I received this recipe from my best friend over 10 years ago...and I still get rave reviews whenever I serve it. The zucchini makes it very moist. My husband and I plant grass seed and have a few animals on our farmette here in Lancaster County.
Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
4 tablespoons baking cocoa
3 cups grated zucchini (about 3 medium), drained
1/2 to 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream sugars, butter and oil. Add eggs, vanilla and buttermilk; mix well. Sift together dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture. Add zucchini and stir until blended. Pour into a greased and floured 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake at 325° for 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Yield: 12-15 servings.
