2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa

  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Bake the cupcakes at a high temperature. This will help them to rise and brown properly.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
