Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Unsalted butter, for the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or allspice
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch-square cake pan. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.
  • Toss 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl. Whisk the remaining flour, the cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Beat the sugar, 1/2 cup olive oil, the eggs and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and pale, about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh zucchini. Grating the zucchini beforehand will help it blend seamlessly into the batter.
  • To achieve a rich chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips. You can also add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Toasted pecans add a delightful crunch to the cake. Toasting the pecans beforehand will bring out their nutty flavor and aroma.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
