Zubereitung von Chocolate Zucchini Rum Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack in the center.
- Generously grease and flour a 10-inch nonstick tube pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 large egg whites, 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium), ¼ cup dark rum, ½ cup buttermilk, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
- Beat the wet ingredients with a handheld mixer on medium-low speed for 1 minute, until frothy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients.
- Gently fold the ingredients together with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips until only a few streaks of flour remain.
- Pour batter into the prepared tube pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. The cake should spring back lightly when touched.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of rum until smooth. Add more rum, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the cake is completely cool, place it on a cake plate and drizzle generously with the rum glaze.
