Using a food processor to shred zucchini, I bake up this lightly sweet cake often. There's just the right amount of chocolate in every bite.—Leon Kingsley, Marshfield, Massachusetts
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup canola oil
1-3/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups shredded peeled zucchini
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter, oil and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Mix well. Stir in zucchini. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
2. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 12-15 servings.
