(Adapted from the Zucchini Cookbook)
½ cup butter, softened
(scant) ½ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups sugar
2 whole eggs
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup milk
2½ cups unsifted flour (minus 1 tablespoon)
5 tablespoons cocoa
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups finely diced (not shredded) flesh of large zucchini
1/4 bag mini chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugar. Add oil, eggs, vanilla, and milk. Beat with mixer. Mix together all the dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture. Beat well with mixer. Stir in diced zucchini and chocolate chips. Spoon batter into greased and floured 9” x 13” pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick or cake tester comes out clean and dry.
Note: Also makes two 8” x 8”s or 24 cupcakes. Cook for ~ 25 minutes.
Tip: To dice large zucchini finely, slice it crosswise in ¼ inch slices. Take each slice, chop it in half, remove and discard center half-moon of pulp and seeds. The remaining half circle of firm flesh, ¼-inch thick, can be easily diced into ¼-inch cubes.
