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. Add the flour-cocoa mixture; beat on low speed until combined, about 2 minutes (the batter will be thick). Add the zucchini and beat until combined, about 2 more minutes. Fold in the flour-coated chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
- Make the glaze: Combine the remaining 1/3 cup chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon olive oil and the honey in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium-high power in 30-second intervals, stirring, until the chocolate is melted. Spread over the cake, then cut into pieces.

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.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly and bakes through properly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly and prevent it from running off the cake.
