Triple Chocolate Zucchini Cake

This decadent Triple Chocolate Zucchini Cake is incredibly moist and packed with chocolate flavor. The zucchini adds a subtle sweetness and keeps the cake irresistibly tender.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in the shredded zucchini, chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, and white chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For an extra touch, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate.
