The zucchini makes the cake super moist but doesn't affect the overall chocolaty goodness. Cocoa is a rich source of antioxidants, which can help heal your skin and are said to reduce stress (yes please!).

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- In large bowl, combine the white and brown sugars, butter, oil, vanilla, and eggs. Beat well. Next, add the flour, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, and buttermilk, blending well with an electric mixer.
- Now add the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips, mixing well by hand. Spread the mixture in the greased pan, and bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked into the mixture. Cool completely.
- To make the stencil, trace shapes reflecting the phases of the moon onto a parchment round that is the same circumference as your cake (see photo for shape references) and carefully cut these out with scissors or a craft knife. Lay on top of the cooled cake and sprinkle confectioners' sugar on top.
