Zubereitung von Chocolate Zucchini Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup plain yogurt and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa recommended), 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 2 cups grated zucchini and 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the frosting: Beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 3-4 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually, tasting as you go to adjust sweetness.
- Frost the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
