This was a Recipezaar adoptee. It sounded like a good way to sneak some extra vegetables into my family's diet. Ingredients:
1 cup salad oil |
3 eggs |
2 cups sugar |
2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and cooled |
2 cups zucchini, grated (no need to peel) |
1 teaspoon salt |
3 cups flour (may use 1/2 whole wheat) |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cup chocolate chips |
1 cup nuts, chopped |
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together oil, eggs, vanilla, and sugar until light; about two minutes. Mix in melted chocolate.
2. Stir in the grated zucchini.
3. Mix flour(s) with salt, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda.
4. At low speed, add to the zucchini mixture, just until ingredients are well incorporated.
5. Stir in nuts and chips.
6. Pour into 2 well-greased 9 x 5 pans.
7. Bake at 350F for 45-55 minutes or until tester inserted into center comes out clean.
