Serves: 1 cake, 4 mini loaves
Ingredients
  • 3 eggs
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups packed finely shredded zucchini
  • 2½ cups flour
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • Mini semi sweet chocolate chips for topping - optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, line an 8 inch baking pan with foil and coat it with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl combine the eggs, sugar, oil, apple sauce, vanilla and zucchini. Stir well to combine.
  3. Add all the dry ingredients except chocolate chips and stir until fully combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the cake pan. I also filled half a pan of mini loaves with batter. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top.
  5. Bake the mini loaves for 25 minutes and the cake for 15 minutes more. 45 total minutes for the cake.
  6. Leave out to cool before lifting the cake out with the foil and lightly running a knife around the edges of the loaves.
  7. Store in an airtight container once cooled completely.
