Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 10-inch springform pan with butter or oil.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a food processor, process the sugar and butter until creamy (you can also do this by hand, armed with a sturdy spatula). Add the vanilla, coffee granules, and eggs, mixing well between each addition.
- 3. Reserve a cup of the flour mixture and add the rest to the egg mixture. Mix until just combined; the batter will be thick.
- 4. Add the zucchini and chocolate chips to the reserved flour mixture and toss to coat. Fold into the batter and blend with a wooden spoon-don't overmix. Pour into the prepared cake pan and level the surface with a spatula.
- 5. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Transfer to a rack to cool for 10 minutes, run a knife around the pan to loosen the cake, and unclasp the sides of the pan. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
- Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, glaze with melted chocolate, or decorate with a few slices of raw zucchini (you don't have to eat them, though).
Tips:
- For a fudgy texture, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. - Use zucchini that is finely grated. This will help it blend into the batter and prevent it from becoming too watery. - Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. - Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. - Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly. - If you want a smooth frosting, use a stand or hand mixer to beat it for several minutes until it is light and fluffy. - To decorate the cake, you can use chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts. - For a special occasion, you can also top the cake with a chocolate ganache.Conclusion:
Chocolate Zucchini Cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its rich chocolate flavor and subtle hint of zucchini, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
